When the Heart Breaks: Learning to Let Go is what we talk about today off our new series.

Letting go is not just about losing someone. It is about losing the life you imagined with them—the small moments you looked forward to, the plans you built in your mind, the version of the future that once felt so certain. It is waking up one day and realizing that the story you were holding onto is no longer yours to live. And no matter how much you try to rewrite it, it refuses to change.

Love didn’t just leave… it changed you.

In this episode of When The Heart Breaks on On Point with ATIBA TESLIM, we dive into the quiet fear that comes after heartbreak the fear of opening up again, of trusting again, of feeling too much… again.

Because sometimes, it’s not that you don’t want love  it’s that you remember what it cost you the last time.

This is for the ones who hesitate before getting close, who overthink every emotion, who protect their hearts even when they crave connection.

Maybe you’re not broken.

Maybe you’re just healing in a world that doesn’t always understand your pace.
Press play… you might hear exactly what you’ve been feeling but couldn’t explain.

In this powerful episode of On Point With ATIBA TESLIM, we host Frank King, a globally recognized speaker and comedian known for his impactful TEDx talks on suicide prevention and mental health awareness.

     Frank begins his keynote with Signs and Symptoms of Stress, Anxiety, Depression and Thoughts of Suicide, and finishes with Solutions, and Postvention (what to do after a Suicide) techniques. He can do a general session for the entire student body, followed by breakout sessions customized for the higher-risk student groups on campus, including students who identify as LGBTQ, Native American, Latino, Alaskan Native, African American, and student veterans. Frank can leave a lasting legacy by certifying Resident Advisors, Faculty, and Staff with a Train the Trainer Program. Despite the mental health struggles faced by college students, the good news is: You can do something about that, you can make a difference, you can save a life.

In 2016 Frank King began coaching potential T Talkers, when a number of his speaker coaching clients approached him and asked if he would coach them on scoring a T Talk opportunity. Since then, dozens of his clients have done their first T Talk, several have done two, and one has done three! Frank King was a writer for the Tonight Show for 20 years, and he holds the record for the longest non stop comedy club road trip ever. Beginning the day after Christmas in 1985, he and his wife (who must have the patience of Job) were on the road 2,629 nights in a row, comedy club to comedy club with no home, just a PO Box and voice mail. He shared the stage with Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, Adam Sandler, Dennis Miller, Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O'Donnell, Dr. Ken Joeng, Rita Sirleaf and Kevin James among others. Since becoming a public speaker on Suicide Prevention in 2014, he's done multiple Ted Talks.
