Heartbreak is a universal human experience. Yet we often lack the vocabulary and the skills needed to move through heartbreak wisely. This was certainly the case for Sara Avant Stover, whose decades of spiritual practice and deep inner work could not prepare her for the \u201cserial heartbreaks\u201d that upended her life. In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with the author of <\/span>Handbook for the Heartbroken<\/span><\/i><\/a> about the challenges of navigating loss in a \u201cheartbreak-illiterate\u201d society.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Discover how our most painful experiences can become a gateway to personal empowerment and healing, in this practical conversation on: taking on a disposition of tenderness; the impacts of cascading losses; entering the depths of our pain; the metaphor of the tightrope over the chasm; moving from self-judgment to self-acceptance; how Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy helps us during heartbreak; the quiet \u201csoul\u201d powers our pain can open us to; grief; supporting the heartbroken; rituals for letting go; the midlife initiation; and more.<\/span><\/p>\n
