So let’s talk about the real reason you can’t let go.It’s not because he’s your soulmate.It’s not because the connection was “too strong to walk away from.”You’re scared of detaching because detachment forces you to sit with the feeling of not being chosen.And that feeling is uncomfortable.It’s vulnerable.It’s raw.But that feeling isn’t proof that you’re unlovable.It’s just proof that you care and that your heart still remembers how to hope.On this episode, we’re going to walk through why detachment feels so painful, how to sit in the discomfort instead of running from it, and how to choose yourself again — even when your heart is still attached.📖Get the book: https://amzn.to/4phcByDThe journal: https://amzn.to/3VGXS2n✨ Let’s connect:💜1:1 coaching &BONUS podcast episodes https://www.patreon.com/Ivebeenthatgirl💜books, coaching and more:https://linktr.ee/ivebeenthatgirl.netAuthors page: https://www.amazon.com/author/kindalld💜MY SOCIALS:YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ivebeenthatgirl?si=ztPs0PVePJP-q6VrI’ve Been That Girl, too Instagram: (151K followers) https://www.instagram.com/ivebeenthatgirltoo/TikTok: (42.7K Followers) https://www.tiktok.com/@ivebeenthatgirl?_t=8s8vdJSMVZv&_r=1Threads: (35K followers) https://www.threads.net/@ivebeenthatgirltoo?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Business Inquiries:https://linktr.ee/ivebeenthatgirl.net
