6: The One That Got Away… Or Just the One I Couldn’t Let Go Of?
33m | May 16, 2026I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of “the one that got away” — and whether that person was actually the one… or just someone I couldn’t fully let go of.
In this episode, I talk about why unfinished endings hit so hard, the ego wounds that come with heartbreak, and why I no longer believe in “right person, wrong time.” Because if someone was truly right for you, would they have left you confused, abandoned, and questioning your worth?
I also read Reddit stories about heartbreak, attachment, and struggling to let go of someone who felt special — and unpack the difference between real compatibility and emotional attachment.
Sometimes healing is realizing that the person you thought was “the one that got away” just wasn’t capable of loving you the way you needed.
