After the Ending
Some endings don’t feel finished. Whether it was a breakup, a divorce, or something that never quite began; you’re left with unanswered questions, lingering hope, or deep pain. After the Ending is a space for real healing. We explore the emotional aftermath, attachment patterns, and the tender process of moving forward when your heart still looks back. Because closure isn’t always a moment. Sometimes, it’s a journey.

This is what it looks like to live out your trauma wiring before you learn how to rewire it. And why that doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human.
