7 Intentional Steps for Emotional Well-Being After a Breakup - Solo Episode


Listen Later

When a relationship ends, how do you really move through the grief—body, mind, and heart?

In this solo episode, I share my own recent breakup story and how I used somatic practices to walk through the grief process. Because here’s the thing: heartbreak isn’t just emotional—it’s physical too. Our bodies feel the loss, and somatic healing tools can help us soften, ground, and gently move through it.

As a somatic practitioner, I walk you through seven intentional steps that helped me stay present with my feelings and sensations using somatic healing practices and nervous system regulation, so I could process the loss with more awareness, compassion, and even a little ease.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

  • Why feeling your emotions in small, digestible doses makes heartbreak healing manageable.
  • Simple ways to create a safe environment that soothes both body and mind during relationship healing.
  • The choices that helped me build emotional resilience through somatic awareness
  • How a steady routine helps regulate the nervous system.
  • The value of working with a trusted somatic practitioner to ease rumination.
  • How to protect your energy and set boundaries as you begin dating after a breakup.
  • Finding the sweet spot between solitude and connection so you don’t spiral into isolation.
  • The secure attachment signs to notice when forming new relationships.
  • What it looks like to truly process grief so you can welcome healthier connections.


If you’re moving through the end of a relationship—or still carrying the echoes of one—this episode is your reminder: healing is not only possible, it can feel lighter and more embodied with the right tools and support.

Much love,


Laurie
