Ep. 308 - How to stop feeling on the edge of tears after your breakup
If you feel like you’re constantly on the edge of tears, terrified of your emotions, or stuck in a cycle of grief you can’t shake, this episode is for you. I’m sharing two powerful meditations that will completely shift how you relate to your feelings. The first helps you create safety inside yourself and build a healthier relationship with your grief instead of fighting it. The second guides you through a 5 minute process of emotional transmuting, so you don’t just sit in your pain, you actually move through it and feel a genuine release. If you’ve been scared of what might happen if you let yourself feel, or exhausted from “feeling your feelings” without relief, these practices will give you a new way forward.

Ep. 307 - The missing link between knowing you can heal and actually moving on
You know thoughts create feelings. You understand that you create your own reality. You've read all the books, done all the courses, and can explain these concepts perfectly to your friends. So why can't you actually LIVE them when life gets messy? In this episode, Dorothy breaks down the real reason most people stay stuck in the knowing phase and reveals the three bridges that take you from intellectual understanding to embodied living. If you're tired of being a spiritual scholar who can't access her own wisdom when she needs it most, this episode will change how you approach transformation forever.

Ep. 306 - How do I build a life after my breakup that actually feels better?
When your breakup leaves you wondering how to create a life that’s actually bigger and better than the one you had with your ex, the advice out there usually falls short. “Just move on,” “go no contact,” or “time heals all.” But none of that shows you how to design a life that feels extraordinary on your terms. In this episode, I’m sharing the 3 steps of self-authorship. A framework that will help you stop living in reaction to your ex and start writing your own story. You’ll learn how to decide who you are without them, how to author your emotional experience instead of being hijacked by it, and how to create experiences that make your new life impossible to ignore. If you take these 3 self authoring steps today, by the end of this week you’ll feel like the main character of your own life instead of a supporting role in your ex’s story.

Ep. 305 - How to find yourself again after a breakup
After a breakup, one of the most common (and painful) questions I hear is: “Who am I without them?” If you don’t know who you are apart from your ex, you can’t clearly see what you want, what’s possible, or how to build a life that’s truly yours. Instead, you risk creating a life that’s just a reaction to the breakup, or worse, one that keeps you tied to the person who left. In this episode, I’m sharing the exact process I use with my clients to help them uncover who they are without their ex. Inside, you’ll learn why knowing yourself is the foundation for not wanting your ex, how it changes the way you date (or don’t), and why it’s the only way to create a bigger and better life that feels authentic instead of accidental. You’ll walk away with a framework, five activation codes, that will help you finally shift from obsessing over them to becoming obsessed with your own life.

Ep. 304 - I was gifted a breakup
When heartbreak hits, it can feel unbearable, like you’ll never stop hurting, never find love again, and that maybe the problem is you. In this episode, I sit down with Braveheart alumni Anne, who knows that feeling all too well. After her breakup, she was consumed by fear, self-doubt, and the thought that she wasn’t enough. But everything shifted when she learned one powerful concept “I’m allowed to.” This simple reframe helped her release the weight of “I should” and “I have to,” and instead step into permission. Permission to not miss him, permission to move on, and permission to live her own life fully. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the loop of pain, wondering what’s wrong with you, Anne’s story and the mindset shift she shares will give you the exact perspective you need to take back your power and start moving forward.

Ep. 303 - When I stopped wanting my ex, my ex wanted me
What happens when you finally stop obsessing over your ex, the one you thought would give you everything you ever wanted? In this episode, you'll hear from Braveheart alum Allison, who went from feeling deeply attached and convinced her ex was her only shot at the life she dreamed of… to no longer wanting him at all. And ironically, that’s when everything shifted. Together, we unpack the trap of high desire and high attachment, how to loosen your grip without pretending you don’t care, and the powerful analogy that changed everything for her healing. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the loop of “he was the best I’ll ever get,” this one will hit home and give you a new way out. The Comeback: https://dorothyabjohnson.com/thecomeback

Ep. 302 - Why am I scared to move on from my ex?
You know you should move on, you even want to move on, but every time you start making progress, something inside you slams on the brakes. You sabotage your own healing, make excuses to stay stuck, or find reasons why you're "not ready yet." What if the thing keeping you trapped isn't love for your ex, it's fear of who you'll become without them? In this final episode of the series, I'm exposing the invisible barriers that keep you playing small and the exact process I'd use to shatter every limiting belief that's been keeping you caged. If you've ever wondered why you keep getting in your own way, this episode reveals what's really going on. The Comeback - https://dorothyabjohnson.com/thecomeback/
