Emerging from the fog of separation, I found myself anchored by an unexpected philosophy: radical acceptance. 
This episode peels back the layers of this transformative practice, revealing how acknowledging our painful realities can liberate us from the energy spent on the impossible task of changing others—especially a former partner. 
As we navigate through Marsha Linehan's ten steps of radical acceptance, I share insights on how to discern what is within our power to change, and what we must learn to accept. This is not about approving of the situation, but rather recognising it for what it is, thus allowing us to channel our efforts toward healing and personal growth.

But acceptance is just the beginning. By practicing radical acceptance, we not only come to terms with the things we cannot change, but also find the courage to rebuild our sense of self and embrace the joy of life post-separation - with each step towards acceptance, we're actually stepping into a world of newfound empowerment and joy.
