A version of yourself you left behind. A relationship that is still technically intact but has become unrecognisable. And wondered why it hurt so much when, on paper, nothing had actually ended?

EP 474: You Were Not Made to Fit In, You Were Made to Belong Jul 28, 2026 7:01 Have you ever made a decision that, on reflection, made no sense? Stayed in a job you hated, a relationship that was wrong, a group that did not value you? And wondered why you could not just leave? The answer is not weakness. The answer is biology.
