2026-04-2405 minON POINT with Atiba TeslimWhen the heartbreaks- Learning to Let GoWhen the Heart Breaks: Learning to Let Go is what we talk about today off our new series.Letting go is not just about losing someone. It is about losing the life you imagined with them—the small moments you looked forward to, the plans you built in your mind, the version of the future that once felt so certain. It is waking up one day and realizing that the story you were holding onto is no longer yours to live. And no matter how much you try to rewrite it, it refuses to change.
