we often assume that healing from a broken relationship , whether it is a friendship, a family rift, or a romantic partnership means eventually finding your way back to that person. But what if healing and reconciliation are two entirely different journeys, and confusing them is actually slowing you down?

In this episode, we unpack the difference between doing the inner work of healing and the very different decision of whether to restore a relationship. We talk about why reconciliation requires more than one person's readiness, why forgiveness doesn't obligate reconciliation, and how to stop measuring your healing by whether or not someone is still in your life.

If you've ever felt guilty for moving on , or stuck waiting for closure that only another person can give , this one is for you.
