We'll dive into experiences designed to experience growth, spark learning, and build real connections. I can't wait to meet you. There are a limited number of VIP experiences for a private Q&A, intimate meditation, and a meet and greet with photos. Tickets are on sale now. Head to jsheddy.me forward slash tour and get yours today. A breakup can literally wreck your life. You could be doing so well in your career, and now you show up to work in the worst mood. You could have a great relationship with your family, but now every holiday season, all you can do is think about that person. You've got a great group of friends around you, they love you, but they're all in relationships, and you feel like you're behind.
You feel like you're not the one who's getting proposed to, you're not the one who's moving in, you're the one who's starting all over again. If you felt any of that, this episode is dedicated to you because I want your breakup to become a moment you look back on as the greatest pivot that ever happened in your life.
The number one health and wellness podcast. Jay Shetty.

At one point in life, each of us gets our heart broken. Maybe it was two years ago. Maybe it was two months ago or maybe it was two days ago. But each and every one of us knows how painful a heartbreak can be because you're not only losing that person, you're losing the perception of the life you believed you were going to have. You're losing the version of you you were with that person. And you're losing the projection of this future that you were building together. What we don't realize about breakups is that we're actually living through grief. It's this slow, aching loss that doesn't have a funeral. You're mourning a future that won't happen, trying to figure it out, all the sadness, the confusion, the anger. And often in the beginning, you think, I wish they would stay.
I wish they'd be here forever. And then sometimes you move into this phase of what did I do wrong? What could I have done differently? Could I have held on? Could I have been better? And then at some point, you go between the two at the same time. Healing isn't linear. It's messy. It's raw. It's deeply personal. And so as you listen to this today, whichever stage you're at in your breakup journey, I hope it helps you. In this clip, relationship expert, therapist, and best-selling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, and one of my favorite guests on the podcast, talks about how we expect a sense of closure. We want someone to give us this feeling, an understanding of why they left us.
