When you’re heartbroken, your “bigger and better life” can feel a million miles away. Like something that happens someday if you can just survive the now. But what if the life you want isn’t actually far off… you’re just not stepping into the rocket that’s sitting right in front of you? In this episode, Braveheart Colleen and I discuss how we delay our own healing and growth by waiting for the ‘right time’ instead of recognizing the acceleration that’s available right now. If you’re feeling stuck or like things are moving painfully slow, this conversation is your invitation to shift gears, get in the rocket, and make real, tangible progress toward the life you say you want.

You’re furious and you can't stop thinking about it. Your ex said or did something you completely disagree with, and even though you understand how they might see it that way, you know they’re wrong. The anger feels endless, and the more you think about it, the worse it gets. In this episode, I’m breaking down why rage after a breakup sticks around longer than it should, why it’s really there, and how to finally move past it without needing your ex to agree with you. You’ll learn the hidden role anger is playing in your healing, the three-step process to break out of the rage cycle, and how to take your power back when you’re stuck in mental arguments you can’t win. If you feel trapped replaying what they said and how wrong they were, you cannot miss this episode. The Get Over Your Ex Program: https://dorothyabjohnson.com/getoveryourex/

I’ll show you how your brain is running two hidden tracks at once, how they’re keeping you stuck, and the simple shift that breaks the loop. If you feel like no one could ever measure up to your ex, this episode will change how you see everything and open up possibilities you can't even see yet.
