Recovery from heartbreak, releasing pain, forgiveness, or the slow process of emotional healing.

A painful professional setback, criticism that cuts deep, or the end of a business relationship. The wound is real, but it will heal.

The heart must break open before it can expand. This pain is part of your growth. Do not numb it; feel it.
