#211: The Hard Truth About Closure After a Break-up


Listen Later

When a relationship ends, it’s natural to crave closure. We want answers, explanations, or one last conversation that will tie everything up neatly and help us move on. But the reality is, closure rarely comes from someone else — it’s something we have to create for ourselves.

In this episode, I share some hard but freeing truths about closure:

  • Why the relationships that leave us most desperate for closure are usually the ones least likely to give it
  • How the idea of a “closure conversation” can sometimes be a hidden way of keeping the door open
  • Why even when we get answers, they rarely soothe us in the way we hope
  • The difference between chasing closure from someone else versus cultivating it within yourself
  • Practical ways to create your own sense of closure and peace

If you’ve been waiting for that message, that explanation, or that final conversation to make things better, this episode will help you see closure differently — and take back your power to move forward.
