“While some are fortunate to find their lifelong partner early on which such a blessing, it’s common for many to experience at least one major heartbreak. This is a natural part of life’s journey,” the expert shared. “Relationships, especially our first serious ones, often serve as profound learning experiences. They teach us about ourselves, our needs, and the dynamics of sharing our lives with another person and major heart break is almost inevitable for most people.”

“Through the pain, we learn to appreciate the qualities that matter most to us and recognize the importance of compatibility and mutual respect. There is no greater mirror on who we are and what we want than when we get into a relationship,” Nia explained. “I have personally seen so many of my clients become so much more emotionally intelligent after a brutal break up. Although painful, it can help us do better in future and know what we truly want from a partner.”

“You’re not alone in your journey, and with time, the pain will subside, making way for new beginnings and opportunities for deeper connections.
