The last few months of 2018 were pretty monumental for Marina. The turning point was in October when she met to a retreat with 300 other women hosted by powerhouse inspirational couple Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach.

She returned from the retreat having witnessed real-deal true love, which solidified the realization that her partnership wasn't that, and that it was time to end things.

But how do you break up in a more evolved, conscious way? Is it even possible? Rachel and Marina talked about…

• How she knew it was time to end her romantic relationship, and what you may need to ask yourself if you're in a similar position.
• Why she and her ex decided to keep going to therapy and continue living together, post-breakup.
• How to respond to the people in your life who may not understand your relationship choices.
• The uncomfortable experience she had being one of only a handful of women of color at the personal development retreat.
• How she bravely voiced her discomfort and got a very unexpected response from the event's leaders, and the ripple effect she's produced.

After you've listened, leave a comment to let us know how Marina's wisdom resonated with you.
