What is it?
Heartbreak Podcast is a series of audio episodes made specifically for anyone dealing with the pain of heartbreak from a broken relationship. It was created by a man who experienced the deep pain of heartbreak for almost a full year. During that time, he searched for something—anything—to help him through the hurt. He tried everything from hypnotherapy to "how to win your ex back" books to meditation and therapy. In the end, he did survive the heartache, though it was the most difficult time in his life. Having seen first-hand the need for something to help coach and encourage people dealing with heartbreak, he created this podcast. Heartbreak Podcast is a free, anonymous project aimed at helping anyone who needs it. If you've been helped by this project, you can donate here.
Heartbreak is really a measure of our capacity to care and love.
The Podcast
Heartbreak Podcast includes 20 episodes, each designed to help you navigate the difficulties of heartache. The recommended use is to listen to one every morning when you awake, then another one before you go to sleep at night. If used this way, the series will take 10 days to listen to. After that you're encouraged to start over and repeat. From personal experience, you should be able to feel considerably better after three rounds.
