Life Hack Your Break Up Podcast - Introduction and what’s in it for you

[00:00:00] Hey everybody, it is Toronto Unicorn here and this is an introduction to a very new podcast called Life Hack Your Break Up. And it is all meant to help you streamline and make the most efficient use out of the shitty grief that you are being dealt. If you have just gone through a breakup, whether it's a romantic breakup or a friendship breakup, whatever the issue is, it is, uh, it's hard.

It's hard. And I've seen people, especially myself, especially growing up, have really hard time navigating the unknown waters of grief, how to handle the changes and impact to your nervous system, how to cope with the intrusive thoughts and ruminating and desperation, frankly, of trying to, to end a situation that's causing so much pain.

Right. So I am here to deliver the best life hacks and especially positive stories on how to actually minimize the negative impact on you for this breakup. Now, I am the first to admit that you cannot bypass grief. As much as I would have loved to find the most [00:01:00] perfect life hack for it, I haven't found it yet.

But I do know that grief is challenging. It takes time. And it's what you do with that time that can make it, you know, whether or not your grief will be prolonged or not. So, Instead of trying to shortcut grief, what we're going to do is we're going to change the impact of it. We're going to soften the blow wherever we can.

I have gone through hard breakups in my life, so much so that I had a 10 year period of time after a major breakup where I just couldn't even let myself date or like be with anyone else because I was so sure that it was the guy that, you know, I grew up my, my high school sweetheart sort of thing that basically I thought was everything. And when I lost him, I didn't think there was any point in like trying to find again. So I have personally seen the benefits and the, the consequences of knowing how to navigate a breakup. And one of those things is, you know, learning the importance of the stages of grief, right? Also understanding acceptance.

No one wants to accept a shitty [00:02:00] situation. I'm the first to admit it. There's a lot in life we can't control and just not accepting something doesn't mean it's not actually happening and so it's actually a life hack to be able to learn to thrive in acceptance of the things you can't change in life instead of resistance of it.

Going through breakups are tough and you don't have to do it alone. I'll be here step by step to give you the best tips and tricks I've ever found to make it a little less harsh, a little less hard on us, soften the bumps, soften the blows, so that you can build yourself back up, find who the fuck you are, and get back out there.
