Yeah.

So this is clearly used all over the place.

Today we went through the buckets of the word hurt, physical, emotional, or just damage, right?

Doing damage to something, a relationship, your hair, whatever it is.

Michelle, is there another episode we should go to?

And I really think the connection skill here is that no one makes it through life without some kind of hurt, right?

This is being human.

Yes.

A key essential piece of being human is you are vulnerable to being hurt physically, like emotionally, but like that also means that we're just alive, right?

So on a deeper level, we share that so we can connect over that.

I mean,

Like you've been through heartbreak, right, Michelle?

Like romantic heartbreak.

I've been through it.

We've all had our first heartbreak.

And if you talk about your first heartbreak, people can relate to you enormously, don't you think?

And also they make you stronger.

They make you smarter.

They kind of, they make your heart a bit more tender.

I think I know when I was going through some tough breakups in my twenties and thirties, I feel like I became like in that moment when I was heartbroken, I became more open.
