S1 E9: Navigating Other People’s Opinions After a Breakup
In this episode of Grab Your Light, Lauren explores the emotional weight of navigating other people’s opinions in the aftermath of a breakup, separation, or divorce. Drawing from personal experience, she reflects on the impact of unsolicited advice, misplaced hope, and well-intentioned commentary that can complicate an already tender season.
This conversation focuses on discernment and self-trust — learning how to listen inwardly, protect your emotional energy, and decide which voices deserve space during moments of transition. It also acknowledges the complexity of holding compassion for others while still honoring your own needs and boundaries.
This episode continues the Season 1 exploration of early reactions and emotional processing following the end of a relationship.
