How to get over heartbreak (you don't, you move through it)
October 8, 2026 · The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos

I don't think heartbreak is something we get over. It's something we move through. This episode is built around your questions: "I've cried in public more than once; should I just stay home?" (Fuck no.) "How do I stop ruminating when all my coping skills are gone?" And the comment that hit closest to home: "I really want to be chosen."
I discuss inviting your feelings in for tea and then putting a limit on them, why the person who hurt you can't be the person who heals you, playing the tape forward, why we keep wanting to be chosen by the exact people who can't choose us, and the friendship test for exes.
"God breaks the heart again and again and again until it stays open." – Hazrat Inayat Khan
