The 6 Stages Of Grief and Heartbreak Ep. 53

In today's episode of Breakup to Blessing, I'm addressing a question submitted by someone who recently ended a 3-year relationship and is feeling lost and lonely. I also want to extend this conversation to anyone currently in a relationship and feeling disconnected from themselves. It's common to prioritise others—partners, families, children—and forget what makes us come alive. If that resonates with you, this episode is for you. We'll explore how to reconnect with yourself after a breakup or in the midst of a relationship where you've lost touch with your individual needs and desires. This episode will help you rediscover what makes you feel truly alive, so that you can reestablish a strong connection with yourself and start living authentically again. In this episode, we dive into: Reframing the question from "finding yourself" to "reconnecting with yourself." Why it's important to revisit your past to rediscover what brought you joy before the relationship. How to identify the things that made you feel most connected to yourself, and how to bring those feelings back into your life today. Practical examples of how to reconnect with activities and passions that made you feel alive. Overcoming the challenge of putting yourself first when you've spent years prioritizing others. If you're navigating a breakup or simply realising it's time to focus on yourself again, this episode will offer insights and actionable steps to help you on your journey. You don't need permission to prioritise your own happiness—you're worthy of it!

Hey everyone! Welcome back to Breakup to Blessing. In this episode, I dive into a powerful idea: "You are one decision away from a completely different life." I share two defining moments that shifted my perspective after my divorce and how I realized that I had the power to shape my future.

In this episode, Sylvia brings it back to basics and reminds us of the essential foundations for healing, especially when life feels overwhelming. Whether you're deep into your healing journey or just starting out, sometimes we need a reminder of the most important things to focus on. Sylvia discusses Maslow's hierarchy of needs and how our basic needs—like food, water, shelter, and emotional safety—must be met before we can progress to higher goals, such as self-actualisation and personal growth. She explains why it's crucial to check in with ourselves to ensure we're addressing these fundamental needs, especially during times of hardship like breakups or major life changes. Along the way, Sylvia touches on how an unhealthy lifestyle—poor diet, lack of exercise, and nutrient deficiencies—can contribute to mental health struggles like anxiety, depression, and stress. She shares practical insights on how simple adjustments to your physical health can have a significant impact on your mental well-being. If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this episode is a reminder to return to the basics. By prioritising your health, security, and emotional well-being, you'll be in a stronger position to face life's challenges and continue your healing journey.
