We talk a lot about the healing journey on our podcast and the fact that a breakup is an opportunity for a new beginning. And while we love to spread positive vibes, grieving is an important part of the process that we want to make sure to give attention to. Don’t hold back the tears, use them to help move the sadness out of your system!

Crying is a unique part of what makes us human. During a breakup, it can help with everything from physically accepting the finality of the loss to relieving stress. We get sensitive and scientific in this week’s episode, as well as give you a green light for letting the tears flow.

Plus - another edition of Breakup Ballads: Toxic or Empowering?
