Ghosted and feeling stuck?

Join Heal and Move On After Ghosting, a 7-week program designed to help you move forward and reclaim your life. Together, we’ll work through a research-backed framework to rebuild your confidence, trust, and emotional well-being. By the end, you’ll have the clarity to set boundaries, understand your relationship needs, and move forward confidently—even if the ghost resurfaces.

Note to All Listeners: Ghosting is defined as: The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication (Oxford Languages). When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

If you're wondering whether you're experiencing depression or just going through a tough time, this episode will help you understand your emotions and find a path forward. Jeremy Godwin, host of the popular "Let's Talk Mental Health Podcast," writer and coach/counsellor from Australia, joins Gretta to explore the nuances of grief associated with being ghosted, ways to recognize signs of depression, and practical steps to seek help and foster healing.
