How does one take care of heartbreak? What messages do we get from society when going through a heartbreak? And how does it actually impact us compared to breaking an arm or a leg?

In this most vulnerable episode, I discuss all of the above with my Sherin Wafaai, my ex-partner. Together we tell our two-sided story and then dive into what her vision for a place that can tend to heartbreak is. If you stick to the end, you'll also get to hear one of my poems read by her called "Heart Break Hotel."

What You'll Learn:

• Why heartbreak deserves the same care and attention as physical injuries
• How our bodies physically respond to emotional heartbreak and the potential health impacts
• The vision for a "Heartbreak Hotel" - a sanctuary dedicated to healing from relational loss
• How to move through separation with grace, dignity and mutual respect
• Why self-soothing and community support are both essential components of healing
• The role of awe and reverence in recovering from heartbreak faster
