Go deeper on this topic with Kelly's Breakup Breakthrough masterclass here.

What if every breakup is really a practice in facing death?



In this episode, a breakup practice adapted from family constellation work shows how to reclaim energy after a romantic ending. Responsibility comes first, along with the willingness to wear the villain crown. The process opens space to see the good inside painful relationships and drop the need to be right. Prompts guide you to return what was never yours, take back what you abandoned, and finally walk away free.

You’ll Learn:

• The reason unresolved endings drain your energy for years if you don’t reclaim yourself
• What happens when you say yes to a partner’s potential instead of who they really are
• The three “yeses” that define healthy romantic love and why anything less is something else entirely
• The damage of clinging to innocence and refusing responsibility after a breakup
• What it feels like to wear the villain crown and drop superiority in relationships
• How recognizing the good in painful experiences shifts you out of blame and into reclamation
• The link between breakups and encountering our deepest fears about death and loss
• Why releasing projections and returning responsibility frees both you and your former partner
• A practical ritual to cut energetic ties and step back into your own life
• The power of guarding your energy fiercely instead of giving it away through blame or self-defense
