Description

Are you missing who they actually were, or who you hoped they would become? This is the question that changes everything.

In Episode 2 of the 28-Day No Contact Challenge, we get real about the difference between facts and the stories you're telling yourself. We'll explore why some days feel impossibly hard even when you thought you were making progress, and why grief doesn't follow a straight path to healing.

What You'll Learn:

  • The difference between missing the person and missing the potential
  • How to separate facts from the story you're hoping is true
  • Why living in delusion keeps you stuck (and costs you your agency)
  • Why grief comes in waves and doesn't follow the "stages" you've heard about
  • What progress actually looks like (hint: it's not about feeling good every day)
  • Exactly what to do on the really hard days

Key Topics Covered:

  • Reality vs. the fantasy you're holding onto
  • How delusion steals your power and keeps you waiting
  • Why your ex would be with you if they wanted to be (the hard truth)
  • Non-linear grief and why setbacks don't mean you're failing
  • Why some days feel harder than others for no reason
  • Measuring progress by your responses, not your feelings

This Episode Is For You If:

You keep replaying conversations hoping they'll come back, you're struggling with days that feel like you're back at square one, you're holding onto the potential of what the relationship could have been, or you need permission to have hard days without judging yourself.

Action Steps:

  1. Write down the facts vs. your interpretation - get brutally honest
  2. Give yourself permission to have hard days without judgment
  3. Notice your grief patterns - when are you most triggered?

Tough Love Truth:

"You can't heal from a fantasy. You can only heal from reality. If your ex wanted to be with you, they would be with you. That doesn't mean you have to like it - but you do have to accept what is actually happening so you can heal from it."
