When Things Fall Apart

Recommended by Tahryn

A two for one request. I’m going through a pretty rough breakup and would love to hear what helped you through something similar. A place to go, a silly little routine, a mind trick, a distraction, whatever made things feel a little lighter or helped you find your footing again. I’m also feeling ready to look inward, chase a few more dreams, and build healthier habits. If there are books, apps, tools, podcasts, or rituals that have helped you do that, I’d love to hear them. Thank you in advance.

This is a perfect break up or grief companion. After my worst break up, mid covid, I was a blob on the floor for weeks. I got a copy in the mail with no note. I didn’t think much of that at the time, I read it and it really changed a lot of things for me. It has served me for years through so many other moments of falling apart. Not too long ago I brought it up to my husband (and long time friend), turns out he was the one who sent it to me back then as a balm to my suffering. Things work out in the strangest ways.
