When somebody vanishes without explanation or warning, it's shocking and painful. But instead of caring for ourselves, we tend to focus tons of energy on the ghost. "Why did they do this? What did they think about me? Where are they?"
These are normal and understandable questions, but when we ruminate on what we can't control (the ghost), we can lose sight of caring for ourselves.
🛑👻Don't ghost yourself. You deserve to be seen, heard, and acknowledged, and now is the time to see, hear, and recognize your needs. In this podcast, Gretta shares seven ways to boost your mood, relieve stress, and generally feel better after being ghosted. You are #1.

Note to All Listeners: Ghosting is defined as: The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication (Oxford Languages). When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

In this episode, Rosemary from The Ghost Podcast and Gretta discuss lessons they've learned about ghosting and share their respective ghosting podcasting journeys. Discover why Gretta and Rosemary began podcasts about ghosting, what they've gleaned from their experiences on the air, and what's next.
Gretta and Rosemary share a few reasons why people ghost and how to understand the cultural context of ghosting better. Finally, they reinforce that if you were ghosted, it wasn't your fault; you're not alone and didn't deserve it.
