Why does heartbreak hurt so deeply? Why does it take so long to heal? And why does it feel like no matter how much inner work we do, the pain of losing someone just hits different than anything else? I am back with one of my dearest friends and most profound spiritual teachers, Teal Swan, for a conversation that goes places most people are too afraid to go. We talk about why breakups are actually harder than death, why pain in today's world is treated like a personal failure especially in spiritual circles, what is really happening to the energy exchange between men and women right now, and why so many of us are carrying more pain than we even realize. And then we talk about what to actually do about it. In this episode we explore: 💔 Why breakups are actually harder than death and what that means for your healing 🌊 Why pain is not a personal failure and how to actually move through it 🐍 The hidden layers of heartbreak that keep us stuck long after we think we should be over it 🌹 Why the energy exchange between men and women has broken down and what we can do about it 🏡 Why community and touch are the real medicine for the pain epidemic we are in 🔥 How to stop wallowing in pain and start ceremonially releasing it ✨ Teal's Pain Vault and the 10 guided experiences designed to help you finally find relief This is one of those conversations that will make you feel deeply seen and completely rethink the way you have been relating to your own pain.
