In this raw, vulnerable follow-up to Episode 100, I share the painful, unexpected breakup with my partner after four blissful months of connection, intimacy, and what felt like “the one.” This episode is my real-time unraveling — the moment where fantasy meets grief, and I’m left to begin again.

Joining me is my dear friend and guest, Jack from Polarity Unscripted (listen to his podcast here), who gently and powerfully holds space for the ache, the anger, the longing, and the deep truth that not all love stories are meant to last.

We talk about:

  • The grief of sudden endings in relationships
  • The courage it takes to let go when your nervous system still wants to hold on
  • What it means to begin the journey into solo polyamory not from empowerment — but from devastation
  • How friendship, tenderness, and presence can carry you through heartbreak

This episode is for anyone who’s loved hard, lost deeply, and is learning to rebuild not just their love life — but their relationship to themselves
