In this solo episode, we’re examining a situation we receive questions about frequently relating to moving on after the end of a 15+ year partnership. We so often hear that women have been unhappy in their (hetero) relationship for some time, then the relationship ends, and then the woman feels stuck and unsure about what comes next and how to move forward. 

A patriarchal society normalizes the discontentment of life within women and sets an expectation that “this is just life,” birthing the mother wound and passing down the belief that life is suffering. But what happens if you reject that message, and instead choose to live fully?

Oftentimes, the story we tell ourselves of the suffering to come is much bigger than the suffering we actually endure. In order to begin, you must surrender and accept this new phase of life you’re in and get to know this new Self. 

Recognize that you may be sitting in a space of what you thought your life “should” look like in feeling that being alone is “wrong,” and try shifting your perspective to a new approach as you take that first unsettling step into the unknown.
