Heartbreak hurts—but it doesn’t have to mean you’ve lost who you are.
In this vulnerable and reflective episode, Theresa and Walker sit down to talk through the heartbreaks that left a mark—and the healing that followed. From high school breakups to the unraveling of long-term relationships, this conversation explores how we process emotional pain, what helps us grow through it, and why finding your way back to your own sense of self is one of the most important parts of the journey.
You’ll hear real stories, honest reflections, and personal practices for staying grounded—even when it feels like everything’s falling apart.
🎧 Plus, don’t miss the new meditation on heartbreak now available on YouTube.
What You’ll Learn
