Finding Myself: How a Breakup Changed My Life for the Better (Video Episode)

In this episode, I’m getting really personal and sharing the story of how my breakup after freshman year completely changed who I am as a person and as a girlfriend. This was my first love, and at the time, I thought everything was perfect. But things quickly went wrong, and it taught me so much about red flags, boundaries, and the importance of never lowering my standards. I’ll talk about how getting sick at the end of my heartbreak actually gave me the time to reflect and rebuild myself.

I also found comfort in unexpected places, like listening to RED by Taylor Swift on repeat, journaling through my feelings, changing schools, and even taking a chance on dating again, even though that didn’t work out as planned. This breakup shaped me in ways I didn’t expect, and I want to share how I came out of it stronger and more self-aware. If you’ve ever felt lost after a relationship or wondered how to find yourself again, this episode is for you.
