In this heartfelt solo episode, host Ava Heinbach returns after a short break to open up about where she’s been, what she’s been going through, and how she’s been learning to navigate her big emotions.

Ava vulnerably shares that she stepped away from the podcast to prioritize her mental health after a difficult personal situation that resurfaced emotions from a past relationship. She describes how grief, heartbreak, and anxiety resurfaced—and how she found healing by leaning into, rather than running from, her emotions.

Throughout the episode, Ava walks listeners through four key ways she learned to process and move through heavy feelings: naming her emotions, caring for her body and nervous system, giving herself space and time to heal, and accepting that emotions come and go. 

Ava reminds everyone that big emotions are a beautiful part of being human, and that there’s no shame in taking time to process, grow, and find balance again.
