In this special episode, I take you on a reflective journey — 25 years after the moment that changed everything for me. I revisit the day my heart was broken by the Tabernacle girl, someone I once believed was *the one*. I’ll never forget sitting there, hearing the words that would shake my world: she was getting married, and it was time for me to move on. In that moment, confusion, pain, and rejection collided. I didn’t know what to say, how to feel, or what my next step would be.
But looking back now, I realize that heartbreak was not just an ending — it was the beginning of something beautiful. It was in the silence after that conversation, in those lonely moments of reflection, that the seeds of creativity were planted. That heartbreak birthed the writer and musician in me. The songs I began to write, the words I began to journal, all became therapy and eventually, purpose.
In this episode, I walk you through the thoughts and emotions of that young man — his innocence, his hope, and his sudden crash into reality. Then, I fast forward to today: the lessons learned, the growth experienced, and the gratitude I now have for that very moment I once wished never happened.
For anyone holding on to heartbreak or wondering if they’ll ever recover from loss, this episode is for you. Sometimes the pain we fear will break us is the pain that builds us. Join me as I honor the moment that birthed my creativity and helped shape the man I’ve become — 25 years later.
