The danger of silence | Clint Smith Ted@NYC

We can sacrifice our voice in more than one way. Sometimes, it's by not speaking up. Sometimes it's by pleasing others or compromising. Sometimes it's by speaking but not standing up for ourselves, others, or honoring the truth. This topic transcends romantic relationships and impacts our lives with every waking moment. I hope you're inspired and motivated to find your voice, to be courageous, and speak.  Please check out the new website www.unbreakmyheartpodcast.com and fill out a listener survey.

Why is hindsight so powerful? One reason is the clarity with which we see the past. Our narrative has fewer gaps and we can see missed opportunities or the error in our ways.  It's often unpleasant to discover where we were wrong. It happens so often in relationships as we reflect on how it started one way and ended another.  I have found we are often hard on ourselves or amiss to the insights that our emotions cloud. How can we better embrace when we're wrong? How can we recover from those rough moments and emotions? Listen as we hear from Kathryn, a "wrongologist", who will shed some light on this topic.

Sometimes you miss the good things you had even though it was far from perfect. April struggled with anorexia and her boyfriend didn't quite get the scope of her pain. The relationship ended but the feelings remained.  He had big news - he's going to be a Dad! Any hopes of a future dissolved. She met someone new and he isn't the man she longs for... can you relate to being stuck in the sticky shadows between the past and present? Listen as April and I find a bridge to move past this inner torment. We have a Patreon membership account!
