How much of what happens in your relationships is really about the present and how much is coming from the past? In this week’s episode of Heart Healing Conversations, Dawn Jackson and her husband, Ed Owens, Vice President of the Grief Recovery Institute, share the deeply personal story of how healing unresolved grief and emotional pain transformed their relationship. Both Dawn and Ed entered their relationship carrying losses, heartbreak, and emotional wounds they hadn’t fully healed. They openly discuss the struggles they faced, the patterns they repeated, and how learning to heal their hearts changed the way they communicate, connect, and love each other. Together, they explore: * How unresolved grief shows up in relationships * Why emotional triggers often have roots in the past * The connection between healing yourself and creating healthier relationships * How curiosity, ownership, and honest communication strengthen connection * Why replacing a relationship doesn’t heal the pain from the last one * The difference between compromise and collaboration * How healing benefits every relationship, not just romantic ones Whether you’re navigating marriage, dating, family relationships, friendships, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss! Healing doesn’t just change your heart; it changes the way you show up for the people you love. 🎧 Listen to Heart Healing Conversations on Substack, Spotify, Apple, or YouTube Subscribe to Heart Healing Conversations and join us for honest conversations about grief, healing, and finding joy again after heartbreak and loss. ❤️🩹 About Your Hosts: Dawn Michele Jackson, RN, is an Advanced Grief Recovery Method® Specialist, author, and advocate for emotional healing.
