Have you ever stayed in a relationship you knew wasn't right, simply because leaving felt more terrifying than staying? That's exactly the journey I'm unpacking in this raw, honest conversation about self-forgiveness and the courage to walk away.
Drawing from my personal experience with a relationship that spanned from 2006 to 2009, I share how I ignored my intuition early on, convincing myself that this person was "my soulmate" despite glaring warning signs. We connected through music, shared experiences, and genuine moments of intimacy – but underneath it all, something was fundamentally missing.
What made this decision so agonizing wasn't just leaving the relationship itself, but confronting how much precious time I'd invested in something that wasn't serving me.
I lacked clear understanding of what love should look like. This relationship represented the "best" I had experienced, even with its obvious flaws.
The real transformation came not just in leaving, but in learning to forgive myself for staying too long. If you're holding onto something that's "almost right but not quite," I hope this episode gives you permission to trust your gut and make the change your heart is calling for.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Welcome to the Unbreakable Mind and Body
podcast.
I am your host, tiana Gonzalez,a multi-passionate, creative
storyteller and entrepreneurwith a fierce love for movement.
This is our space for powerfulstories and actionable
strategies to help you buildmental resilience and elevate
(00:28):
your self-care practice.
Together, we will unlock thetools that you need to create an
unbreakable mind and body.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Welcome back to the show.
I am your host, Tiana, and onthis episode I want to talk to
you about forgiveness, mostespecially self-forgiveness, and
giving yourself permission totry again and to move forward
after you may have suffered abig loss or you did not
(01:00):
accomplish a goal that you hadon your heart, or maybe just
maybe you had something in yourlife that was almost, but not
quite.
Now I have been strugglingrecording this episode.
In fact, this is my third taketoday and I want to focus around
(01:21):
the concept of loss, but I wantto frame it a little
differently for you than perhapsyou might have in the past.
So I recorded a couple episodesand I usually and when I'm in
my process, what I'll do is justhit record, I'll save it and
then I'll either go back andrecord another episode or I'll
(01:44):
start editing if I feel likemaybe one of the recordings that
I have is good content andworth editing and then posting.
So I recorded an episode it'sabout 25 minutes saved it and I
just felt dissatisfied, Took abreak and I decided to pop on my
phone real quick and I stumbledacross a piece of content that
(02:07):
stopped me dead in my tracks andit's a guy who is a content
creator.
He's in Australia and whatreally struck me is his very
strong resemblance to myex-boyfriend and the
ex-boyfriend like the one therelationship that I have said in
(02:46):
the past has and, undoing allthe damage that I had done to
myself from learned behavior andfrom habits that I had picked
up over the years and I putmyself in therapy after this
breakup, Now it stopped me.
This video stopped me dead inmy tracks because the
(03:09):
resemblance was so uncanny towhat my ex looked like when I
met him 19 years ago.
Now, for reference, I met thisperson 19 years ago.
We had a bumpy start, Like wekept running into each other in
similar circles at differentplaces, like a club out in the
(03:31):
Hamptons and then a bar inStanford, and we would talk but
nothing really popped off.
And then eventually, I want tosay like four or five months
later, we run into each otheragain and we exchange numbers
and from December of 2006 untilJune of 2009, I was on and off
(03:54):
with this person and, for alittle bit of background, I had
an amazing boyfriend in collegeand then we broke up and I found
myself in an abusiverelationship in my early
twenties and then I was inanother relationship in my mid
(04:15):
to late twenties with someonewho it just wasn't.
It just was not healthy, andthen I wound up meeting this
person.
So I was kind of like I hadthis great relationship and then
I had two crappy relationshipsand then in between there was
some time off, obviously, andthen I meet this person and we
(04:40):
were really intense right fromthe beginning.
It felt like this was my person, this was my soulmate, this is
the one, and we had a reallystrong common love and passion
for a couple of different things, including music and going to
hear DJs, going to hear liveshows, going out traveling to
(05:04):
hear these artists perform, andthat really was like the glue
that kept us together.
And now, for some peoplelistening that might sound
childish or silly, but when youhave eclectic taste in music and
you find someone that youconnect with on an emotional
(05:25):
level, on a spiritual level, ona sexual level, on mental level,
and you're able to share thateclectic part of you, that
really special, vulnerable partof you, with that person, there
really is nothing like it whenyou can fully be who you were
put on earth and meant to be.
(05:46):
There's nothing like that whenyou can act silly and just be
who you truly are, and that'swhat I had in this relationship,
and so I don't think I wasreally level-headed.
When I met this person, I hadbeen through a very serious
(06:07):
trauma, maybe weeks prior to mefirst meeting him.
So I was pretty raw and prettyvulnerable and I kind of latched
onto him in an unhealthy wayright from the beginning.
I remember it was prettyintense.
And then, probably about twomonths into us dating each other
(06:29):
and we were not exclusive or wehad not had the conversation
that we were going to beexclusive just yet.
But I remember saying to himonce you know I'm really into
you, but I feel like you don'tlike me that much or you're not
that interested, and you know,maybe we should just stop right
(06:49):
here.
And I remember feeling in mygut that something was off.
But he convinced me that youknow he was interested, that he
was scared, that he was a littlebit afraid of commitment, that
he had just gotten out of arelationship and he didn't want
(07:11):
to jump right back into one.
And so I remember leaving hishouse feeling like all right,
fine, this is done.
And then him calling me sayinglike no, I want to work this out
and basically it was kind oflike he didn't really want to be
in a relationship that was soserious, but he also didn't want
(07:35):
to lose somebody like me, losesomebody like me.
And so he kind of shaped up andin the beginning it was amazing
.
We we, you know, hung out witheach other's friend groups.
My friends didn't really carefor him too much.
Some of his friends I didn'treally care for, but you know,
(07:56):
you make it work and I I reallythought that this person was
going to be like the one I wasgoing to end up with.
And of course, in the beginningit's the honeymoon phase, right.
So you know, there's like a lotof dates and a lot of sex and
there's passion and we'regetting to know each other and
(08:19):
spend so much time together andI would say probably it didn't
even take a year.
Probably about six months intoit I started to really see some
things that I wasn't pleasedwith.
And my mom got diagnosed withbrain cancer and I remember he
(08:40):
wasn't there for me the day thatmy mom had surgery.
She had a brain tumor removedand he wasn't there for me and
you know, I just that was reallythe first big thing and we
broke up and then we would tryto work it out and get back
together, and we did this anumber of times.
(09:01):
And the reason why I'm evengoing on this story journey with
you is because this was asituation where, when I finally
did have enough, when I finallysaid no more, when I finally
pulled the plug on thissituation and said I'm done, I
(09:23):
remember being so scared and soafraid and so hurt and also so
fucking mad at myself for beingin this situation for as long as
I did.
So I was in this contemplationplace where I knew the writing
(09:47):
was on the wall.
I needed to end thisrelationship.
But he was the best thing I hadknown as an adult as far as
partners.
So I think in my mind and in myheart I was a little bit scared
to leave that situation,because what if I never found
anything like that again, Eventhough what I would come to
(10:09):
learn down the road after doinga lot of work on myself, is that
he wasn't really that great.
So just because he was the bestthing I had known up until that
point in time, that doesn't meanthat's the end, all be all.
That just means that I didn'thave great partners.
Prior to I didn't have a goodexample of what a healthy male
(10:33):
figure, a leader, a king, wassupposed to be.
I didn't know what that lookedlike.
Remember, my dad went to jailwhen I was 12 years old and when
I lived with him before thattime he was a womanizer.
So, again, I didn't have agreat example and I think
(10:55):
because of that I made some poorchoices.
I didn't know better.
I think because of that I madesome poor choices.
I didn't know better.
But the part of this storythat's really relevant is that,
yeah, it took me about two yearsto end the situation, but then
it took me probably another yearand a half to two years to get
(11:18):
over it.
And it wasn't so much like yes,of course I missed the person,
I missed the partnership, but Ialso missed who I was in the
relationship and I missed havingsomeone to do things with and I
missed the intimacy of it, eventhough at the end of the day,
(11:42):
like looking back big picture,there were a lot of problems and
a lot of holes and that we werekind of pretending to get along
.
But I spent so much time beingunsure what to do in the
(12:06):
situation.
And then, once I made thedecision and I ended it and I
remember vividly, it was a weekbefore I did my competition the
Atlantic States in 2009, which Iwon the overall title, and I'm
still amazed that I was able todo that, because I was just
(12:26):
about to embark on this breakupand what that healing journey
was going to look like for me,and I beat myself up for years
why did it take so long to makethat choice?
Why did I drag my feet?
Why did I put up with his shitfor so long when I knew I
(12:48):
deserved better, when I knew hewas taking me for granted?
And so what I want to press uponyou is to really trust your gut
, and you don't have to wait andunderstand why something is a
no for you.
You just need to make a move.
(13:10):
The answers will come to youeventually.
But if you feel in your gutthat you're being disrespected,
that it's not a good situation,that you are speaking up for
yourself and you are not beingheard, you're good that you're
being disrespected, that it'snot a good situation that you
are speaking up for yourself andyou are not being heard.
You're not seen.
This person doesn't have spacefor you.
They're not respecting you oryour boundaries or your wishes.
(13:30):
Get the fuck out of there anddo it like yesterday, Because we
are not promised anything.
Time is our most valuablecommodity.
None of us know how much wehave left.
So you cannot spend your timethinking you're going to live
forever because none of us are,and prolonging grief, postponing
(13:55):
, feeling pain.
All you're doing is shoving itdown.
It doesn't go anywhere.
You have to feel the feelings.
I've shared this on a previousepisode where I went through a
breakup right at the beginningof the lockdown time.
So I had been seeing someonefor about six months and what's
(14:17):
interesting is this guy was thefirst person I had really given
a fair chance to since therelationship that I ended in
2009.
So 10 years I went 10 years offinding myself, healing,
exploring some dating, notreally having a lot of success
(14:38):
and you know what I'm going totake that back.
I did have success because Igot more clarity on who I am and
I think that that is successful, but what I mean by not success
is like not really linking upwith anyone special or valuable
or important or worthy.
I'm just going to put that outthere.
(14:59):
I didn't connect with anybodyworthy not at that level and so
it's 2019.
I meet somebody and we dated forabout six months and I started
to get the feeling like, uh, Idon't know, this isn't, this
isn't going in the direction Iwant, and I ended it.
And it was very painful becauseI had opened my heart again.
(15:21):
After 10 years, I finally wasin a place where I was having
connection with somebody and itwas very painful to tell this
person like I'm going to endthis now because I don't see
this going in the direction thatI want and I don't have time to
(15:41):
waste.
And I remember there was nobars, no gyms, no concerts, no
picnics, no get togethers.
I just had to sit in myfeelings and it was amazing
because, as painful as it was,the only thing I could do
(16:02):
besides watch Tiger King andOzark on Netflix was sit with my
feelings and sort through themand feel them, and I got over it
pretty quickly.
So maybe something isn't workingout the way you want it to.
(16:22):
And if that is the case, I wantyou to ask yourself am I
listening to my intuition or amI doubting it and I'm doing what
I think I'm supposed to bedoing, or am I sitting here
deliberating and trying to comeup with the reason why maybe,
just maybe, it will work out andmaybe, just maybe, I should
(16:44):
hold out?
Don't do that to yourself.
Remember what I said at thebeginning of this episode you
have something in your life.
It feels like it's almost justright, but not quite, and that's
why we hold on to things.
That's why we say let's justgive it a little bit longer,
(17:04):
let's just wait it out, and I'mgiving you permission to make a
change.
And then I'm asking you to alsoforgive yourself.
A lot of times in our life, wethink that forgiveness is
(17:25):
letting the other person off thehook.
No, it's not.
If you can forgive someone forsomething that happened in the
past, something maybe that theydid to you or something that
transpired between the two ofyou, maybe that they did to you
or something that transpiredbetween the two of you, the
(17:49):
forgiveness piece is to take theweight off of you, to take the
burden off of you, so that youcan move on with your life.
It does not mean you have toforget.
It does not mean that you areinviting the person back into
your life in any sort of way,but what it means is that you
are no longer carrying aroundthe resentment and the ill
(18:10):
feelings and the weight ofwhatever transpired between you
and this other person, and ifyou can't fully forgive, that's
okay too.
Maybe you will in the future.
So really be nice to yourself,really give yourself that grace
(18:33):
and yeah, it's easy for me tosay that, because I went through
hell.
I really tried to force asituation to be something that
it wasn't and I refused tobelieve the truth and I didn't
want to trust my gut.
But eventually I got tired ofbeing taken for granted.
(18:56):
I got tired of beingdissatisfied of being taken for
granted.
I got tired of beingdissatisfied and I got tired of
being the man in my relationshipand leading everything and I
said fuck this, I can do better,I deserve better, and guess
what?
So do you.

picnics, no get togethers.
I just had to sit in myfeelings and it was amazing
because, as painful as it was,the only thing I could do
(16:02):
besides watch Tiger King andOzark on Netflix was sit with my
feelings and sort through themand feel them, and I got over it
pretty quickly.
So maybe something isn't workingout the way you want it to.
(16:22):
And if that is the case, I wantyou to ask yourself am I
listening to my intuition or amI doubting it and I'm doing what
I think I'm supposed to bedoing, or am I sitting here
deliberating and trying to comeup with the reason why maybe,
just maybe, it will work out andmaybe, just maybe, I should
(16:44):
hold out?
Don't do that to yourself.
Remember what I said at thebeginning of this episode you
have something in your life.
It feels like it's almost justright, but not quite, and that's
why we hold on to things.
That's why we say let's justgive it a little bit longer,
(17:04):
let's just wait it out, and I'mgiving you permission to make a
change.
And then I'm asking you to alsoforgive yourself.
A lot of times in our life, wethink that forgiveness is
(17:25):
letting the other person off thehook.
No, it's not.
If you can forgive someone forsomething that happened in the
past, something maybe that theydid to you or something that
transpired between the two ofyou, maybe that they did to you
or something that transpiredbetween the two of you, the
(17:49):
forgiveness piece is to take theweight off of you, to take the
burden off of you, so that youcan move on with your life.
It does not mean you have toforget.
It does not mean that you areinviting the person back into
your life in any sort of way,but what it means is that you
are no longer carrying aroundthe resentment and the ill
(18:10):
feelings and the weight ofwhatever transpired between you
and this other person, and ifyou can't fully forgive, that's
okay too.
Maybe you will in the future.
So really be nice to yourself,really give yourself that grace
(18:33):
and yeah, it's easy for me tosay that, because I went through
hell.
I really tried to force asituation to be something that
it wasn't and I refused tobelieve the truth and I didn't
want to trust my gut.
But eventually I got tired ofbeing taken for granted.
(18:56):
I got tired of beingdissatisfied of being taken for
granted.
I got tired of beingdissatisfied and I got tired of
being the man in my relationshipand leading everything and I
said fuck this, I can do better,I deserve better, and guess
what?
So do you.
I hope you found this episodehelpful.
