Episode Details

Today's 'Speak Honest' episode serves up a slice of wisdom on moving past breakups and the all-too-familiar rumination on exes. 🍕💔 Ever caught yourself idealizing past relationships, thinking it's love keeping you hooked? We dive into why it's often more about missing the feelings they brought into our lives, not the person themselves.

We tackle a listener's query with a relatable analogy: settling for 'trash pizza' relationships when we're emotionally starved. I share insights on identifying the real needs behind our ruminations and how to nourish ourselves with healthier emotional connections and self-love.

Join us as we explore practical steps to fill our lives with fulfilling relationships that go beyond the leftovers of the past. It's time to redefine what we crave and how we find it. 🌟
