The Breakup You Didn’t Know You Needed
|
Hi Resilient Sunshine, We tend to think of breakups as romantic endings. But the hardest breakup you’ll ever go through? It might not be with a person. It might be with a job that’s slowly draining you. A city that never felt like home. An identity you outgrew years ago. Or a version of yourself you created just to keep other people comfortable... and you know what? You're allowed to leave! When Life Knocks You Down (More Than Once)I recently sat down with Pacharee who has survived what most of us fear: the death of a sibling, moving across continents, divorce, and rebuilding herself whilst leading multiple businesses. We had one of the most honest conversations I’ve ever had for Crumbs to Courage. She said something that sticked with me: she found peace mastering “Ego death”. Not the physical death. The death of who we thought we were supposed to be. 🎙️ In this episode, we discuss:
Breakups Don’t Have to Be RomanticYou can break up with:
No More Crumbs doesn't only apply to romantic love. It's that love you stop begging for from others and start giving to yourself. You get a taster of it during this 5-Day experience I curated for you. A 5-day digital reset you can do anywhere and anytime to recenter so you can make better decisions for your life and business, grow and thrive for your goals without damaging your mental health. $7. Digital. Yours immediately. ➡️ Grab No More Crumbs here Just want a short break?If you just want a safe space to breathe with a guide and witness, without needing to go deep, get coached or any additional “shoulds” added to your plate, my 1:1 mindfulness sessions are here for you. You can also benefit from all the free resources I share on my youtube channel and insight timer profile! One Last ThingPacharee also reminded me of this: You don’t have to wait for your life to fall apart to rebuild it. You can rebuild while standing. While working. While parenting. While healing slowly. So April’s invite and reflection is: What’s one thing you’re ready to break up with? Reply and tell me. I read every one! With Love and Resilience, |

Hi Resilient Sunshine, You're done surviving. But there's a messy middle between "ready for change" and "acting on it". We don't talk enough about that although it is the most important part of the journey. That famous "enjoy the journey, not the destination"? Well, this messy middle is it! You don't always need a Plan B The latest episode with Alex was poignant. For her, change was about the real survival. "It just came to a state when couldn't live like that anymore". She shared not only...
Hey Sunshine! "Community is essential. But if you hand over the keys to your joy, you'll starve." I spent an afternoon with Simon, my second 1-2-1 interview for the pod. He's lived more lives than most of us will in three: raised by women in times none of us can recall about London, he embraced a career change from operations and management to become a therapist when people usually go for retirement. I went in expecting to ask him about resilience and career changes. What I left with was...
Hi Resilient Sunshine! You know that moment when you feel that you don't quite fit in, that no matter how much you get done, it still doesn't feel right? It gets worst before it gets better. And sometimes this brings us the awareness we need to get the ball rolling for the adjustments or attunement we need. Are we broken? I've sat down with Hedi Shah, a Canadian-Iranian living in the UK who has moved away from a career in Urban Design to be the amazing Bodyworker and Mindfulness Teacher I get...
