  • Welcome back to Breakup to Blessing! In today’s episode, we dive into one of the most difficult and confusing experiences in relationships: when your partner says they don’t love you anymore. Whether they say they’ve “fallen out of love,” are “no longer in love,” or just “don’t love you anymore,” it can feel like a sudden and painful blow. This episode explores how to make sense of this news and how to handle the aftermath.

    We discuss:

    Why this news often feels like it came out of nowhere. The key questions to ask yourself to heal, grow, and let go—without falling into the trap of self-blame or spiraling into negativity. How to reflect on the reality of your relationship beyond your idealized version of it. Why it’s important to look at patterns in your relationships and how you show up in them. The importance of self-forgiveness and releasing feelings of shame and regret that keep you stuck. A powerful question to ask yourself: What does it look like to choose myself now?

    This episode is for anyone struggling with a breakup or a partner’s sudden shift in love. Tune in to gain clarity, insight, and a sense of empowerment as you navigate the next steps of your healing journey.

  • Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Breakup to Blessing!

    Last week, we talked about second chances in relationships—what it takes to make things work the second time around. But what if getting back together isn’t an option or isn’t what you want? That’s exactly what we’re diving into today.

    This episode is all about the inner work you can do now, while you're single, to grow into the person you want to be in your future relationships. Because even if there’s no hope for a second chance with your ex, the work you do on yourself today is what sets the foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling relationship down the road.

    We'll cover:
    How to reflect on past mistakes without getting stuck in regret
    Why insight alone isnt enoughand what real growth requires
    How to practice new relationship skills before you're in a relationship
    The power of letting go of your past identity so you can create a better future

    If you’ve ever felt frustrated that you’re repeating old patterns despite all the growth you’ve done, this episode is for you. True change happens when you integrate what you've learned into your everyday life—not just in theory, but in practice.

  • In this episode of Breakup to Blessing, we dive deep into the topic of second chances in relationships. Whether you’re the one asking for a second chance or you're on the receiving end, there’s an important truth to remember: a second chance only works if something actually changes.

    Insight alone won’t change behavior. Real change happens when you become someone who can show up differently, especially when it comes to handling conflict and emotional regulation.

    We explore how emotional reactivity can escalate situations and why learning to pause, regulate, and communicate effectively can transform your relationships. You’ll also hear about the importance of self-awareness, choosing your battles wisely, and understanding when an argument is about connection vs. control.

    If you’re hoping for a second chance or thinking about giving one, this episode is full of tools and insights to help you make sure it leads to real transformation, not just repeating old patterns.

    Key Takeaways:

    Why insight alone isn't enough to create change in a relationship. How emotional regulation and self-awareness play a key role in avoiding conflicts. The importance of pausing and reflecting before reacting in moments of tension. Choosing your battles wisely: how to assess whether an argument is worth having. The essential relationship skills of self-regulation, accountability, and emotional intelligence.

  • In today’s episode of Breakup to Blessing, I’m addressing a question submitted by someone who recently ended a 3-year relationship and is feeling lost and lonely. I also want to extend this conversation to anyone currently in a relationship and feeling disconnected from themselves. It’s common to prioritise others—partners, families, children—and forget what makes us come alive. If that resonates with you, this episode is for you.

    We’ll explore how to reconnect with yourself after a breakup or in the midst of a relationship where you’ve lost touch with your individual needs and desires. This episode will help you rediscover what makes you feel truly alive, so that you can reestablish a strong connection with yourself and start living authentically again.

    In this episode, we dive into:

    Reframing the question from “finding yourself” to “reconnecting with yourself.” Why it's important to revisit your past to rediscover what brought you joy before the relationship. How to identify the things that made you feel most connected to yourself, and how to bring those feelings back into your life today. Practical examples of how to reconnect with activities and passions that made you feel alive. Overcoming the challenge of putting yourself first when you’ve spent years prioritizing others.

    If you’re navigating a breakup or simply realising it’s time to focus on yourself again, this episode will offer insights and actionable steps to help you on your journey. You don’t need permission to prioritise your own happiness—you’re worthy of it!

  • Hey everyone! Welcome back to Breakup to Blessing. In this episode, I dive into a powerful idea: "You are one decision away from a completely different life."

    I share two defining moments that shifted my perspective after my divorce and how I realized that I had the power to shape my future.

    In this episode, we explore:
    ✨ How to stop living on autopilot
    ✨ The trap of seeking comfort instead of growth
    ✨ The power of a single decision to reshape your life
    ✨ A thought-provoking question that changed my entire outlook

    I'd love to hear from you! What’s the one decision you're making today? DM me on Instagram @sylviasuwan or email me [email protected]

    ✅ How to stay present and grounded during conflict—without relying on your partner to change
    ✅ The mindset shifts that turn conflict from a power struggle into an opportunity for deeper connection

  • In this episode, Sylvia brings it back to basics and reminds us of the essential foundations for healing, especially when life feels overwhelming. Whether you're deep into your healing journey or just starting out, sometimes we need a reminder of the most important things to focus on.
    Sylvia discusses Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and how our basic needs—like food, water, shelter, and emotional safety—must be met before we can progress to higher goals, such as self-actualisation and personal growth. She explains why it's crucial to check in with ourselves to ensure we're addressing these fundamental needs, especially during times of hardship like breakups or major life changes.

    Along the way, Sylvia touches on how an unhealthy lifestyle—poor diet, lack of exercise, and nutrient deficiencies—can contribute to mental health struggles like anxiety, depression, and stress. She shares practical insights on how simple adjustments to your physical health can have a significant impact on your mental well-being.

    If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this episode is a reminder to return to the basics. By prioritising your health, security, and emotional well-being, you’ll be in a stronger position to face life’s challenges and continue your healing journey.

  • Have you ever felt like life is passing you by while everyone else seems to be moving forward? In this episode, we dive deep into the feeling of being left behind—whether it's watching friends settle down, pursue their dreams, or take bold steps forward while you feel stuck in the same place.

    We'll explore why we compare ourselves to others, the biological and social roots of comparison, and how to shift our mindset to use it as motivation instead of discouragement.

    You'll also hear personal insights from my own journey, including how I reframed my past choices and learned to embrace the season I'm in. We'll discuss practical strategies to help you let go of regret, stop playing catch-up, and focus on building the future you truly want.

    Why we feel left behind and how comparison plays a role The importance of acknowledging that your life is exactly where it's meant to be How regret can keep you stuck—and how to move past it Practical steps to start living the life you want today Insights from The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying and how they can inspire change

    Practical steps you can take right now:

    Start Small: Take one small step towards something you’ve been putting off. Focus on Progress, Not Perfection: Every small step counts. Shift Your Mindset: Reframe comparison as inspiration, not a measure of your worth. Embrace Fear: Growth happens outside your comfort zone. Set Intentions: Think about where you want to be in five years and take action today.

    Remember, life isn’t a race. You're exactly where you're meant to be, and each day offers a new opportunity to move forward.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing some powerful mindset shifts that helped me navigate some of my own deepest challenges.

    We’ll talk about the importance of not letting anticipation ruin the present, why embracing change is key to growth, and how to stop thinking there’s only one “right” way to do things. I also explore how we deal with pain and difficult emotions, why it's crucial to learn how to sit with discomfort, and how to break free from the need for control.

    I also draw parallels between these life lessons and what I’ve been experiencing as a parent to a toddler going through the “terrible twos.” It’s been a reminder of how important emotional regulation is—not just for kids, but for adults too.

    Finally, I dive into the transformative power of acceptance, especially when faced with situations you can’t control. Finding acceptance may feel impossible at times, but it’s the first step towards healing and growth.

    If you're going through a tough time right now, whether it’s a breakup, a life setback, or just the overwhelming weight of life’s challenges, I encourage you to tune in. This episode is about how to shift your mindset to navigate life with more strength, clarity, and peace.


    Key Takeaways:

    • Why the anticipation of something often feels worse than the actual event.

    • The power of reframing your thoughts to focus on constructive actions.

    • How embracing change can lead to unexpected blessings.

    • The importance of learning to regulate your emotions and deal with pain.

    • Why letting go of the "right way" opens up possibilities for growth.

    • How acceptance is the key to moving forward, even in difficult circumstances.

    Remember: You can create an even better life, no matter what you're going through right now. If you're ready to move forward, this episode is for you.

  • In this episode of Breakup to Blessing, we explore a common fear that holds many people back from moving on after a breakup: the belief that letting go means giving up on the possibility of reconciling with an ex. This internal conflict can be paralysing, but today, I’m here to guide you through a healthier mindset.

    I’ll explain why moving on is not the end of hope but rather the start of personal growth that increases your chances of either reconnecting in a stronger way or finding happiness elsewhere. We’ll dive into the distortions our emotions can create and why genuine healing and independence are essential to building any successful relationship.

    I also share actionable mantras to help you reframe your thoughts and prioritise your well-being. From embracing the unknown to recognising that true love cannot be forced, these insights are designed to empower you as you move forward with courage and clarity.

    If you’re feeling stuck between wanting to move on and fearing what it might mean, this episode is for you.

    Key Takeaways:

    Letting go doesn’t erase the love or memories. Moving on creates space for mutual growth and healthy relationships. Prioritising your emotional well-being leads to peace and self-discovery. True love is reciprocal and cannot be forced. Embracing the unknown opens doors to opportunities and happiness.
