What do you do when someone makes a choice that breaks your heart… and you can’t undo it?
In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the emotional tension between free will and expectation — especially in relationships where love is real, but outcomes are disappointing. Whether it’s a family member, friend, or former partner, watching someone make a painful decision can leave you confused, hurt, and holding on to a future that may never come.
Inside this solo episode, I’m sharing:
-
A personal story sparked by a real-life conversation with my lifelong sister-friends
-
The psychology behind why it’s so hard to let go when we expected something different
-
Scripture that offers comfort and clarity (Psalm 34:18 + Proverbs 19:21)
-
A gentle, soul-searching journal prompt to help you release and move forward
