The Portal of Heartbreak | Sara Avant Stover | Insights at the Edge Podcast

Heartbreak is a universal human experience. Yet we often lack the vocabulary and the skills needed to move through heartbreak wisely.
This was certainly the case for Sara Avant Stover, whose decades of spiritual practice and deep inner work could not prepare her for the “serial heartbreaks” that upended her life. In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with the author of Handbook for the Heartbroken about the challenges of navigating loss in a “heartbreak-illiterate” society.
Discover how our most painful experiences can become a gateway to personal empowerment and healing, in this practical conversation on taking on a disposition of tenderness; the impacts of cascading losses; entering the depths of our pain; the metaphor of the tightrope over the chasm; moving from self-judgment to self-acceptance; how Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy helps us during heartbreak; the quiet “soul” powers our pain can open us to; grief; supporting the heartbroken; rituals for letting go; the midlife initiation; and more.

Thank you Tami for this podcast with Sara. I wrote a lot down to help myself with the pain in my heart (litteraly, I need an operation the doctors say) and I hope I will attract people in Amsterdam who have the same challenge to deal with...

What is there to judge in a situation of a bankruptcy. It doesnt reflect the worth of a human only a person ie a mask of conformity to concensus opinion .. money has norhing to do with a souls value
