Join me on a deeply personal journey of healing and self-discovery following a heart-wrenching breakup with my ex-PMDD partner. This episode opens with a recount of my transformative experience at a healing retreat, which was initially meant to tackle childhood trauma but ended up offering much-needed clarity on my recent emotional turmoil. Through group sessions and journaling, I navigated the emotional labyrinth of still loving someone who couldn't invest in our future together, illuminating the necessity of self-awareness in intimate relationships.

By sharing my story, I hope to shed light on how recognizing these patterns can lead to healthier, more balanced relationships.
