As a society we have gotten used to using the word "failed" when speaking about a completed marriage or relationship. This has led many of my Bravehearts to believe that the ending of their relationship means "they are a failure". No matter how many completed relationships you've had, telling yourself you're a failure won't get you closer to the kind of relationship you actually want.

In today's episode:

• Learn why your divorce/breakup doesn't mean you're a failure
• Understand what a divorce/breakup actually means about you
• Become someone who changes the narrative around divorce/breakups

In today's episode:

• Learn why we get super fixated on who our ex was or wasn't after a breakup
