Coming Up for Air Loula

When a relationship or a friendship ends you have to deal with the painful reality that you have the memories of happier times. These can haunt you *& making healing incredibly difficult. I talk this through on this weeks episode. 

I am a self confessed wine lover & party enthusiast so when I decided to go sober I was faced with a lot of laughs. However, I did it & learnt a hell of a lot. I go into it all in this episode. I was able to reflect on how I depended on alcohol during in my break up but also how going sober impacted my training for the Manchester Marathon. 

So if you didn't know I ran the Manchester marathon with tonsilitis so I go through the course, my advice, my motivation and how I basically got through the hardest marathon I have ever ran. 

You might be at the stage where you have thought about meeting someone new, you might not be. However I cover a few things that you do not have to worry about when you are ready to open yourself to the idea of dating when you have come out of a relationship or gone through a huge breakup.

I didn't realise how much of what I was focusing on was blocking me starting on my healing journey. I think they are easy things to fall into and sometimes you don't realise you are doing them. I explore the things I did which blocked my healing in this episode.

Self compassion was something I didn't know about until I started therapy. You can build self compassion and apply it to every area of your life. I feel like was such an important part of my healing journey so thought I would share it with you.
