RIP Hot Girl Hibernation: It’s Spring Cleaning Season
The days are getting longer, flowers are blooming, and it's finally time to shed that winter coat of emotional baggage. Welcome to your spring awakening after heartbreak!
Ever notice how winter breakups hit differently? There's something about those dark, cold months that amplifies every painful emotion. As Ilma candidly shares from her own experience, "When I had my winter breakup, I actually thought I was going to die." The combination of Seasonal Affective Disorder and heartbreak creates a particularly potent emotional cocktail that can feel impossible to overcome.
But spring—glorious spring—brings a natural energy shift that makes taking control of your life not just possible, but exciting. It's the perfect season for reclaiming your space (both physically and emotionally), implementing boundaries, and finally acting on those self-improvement goals that hibernated alongside you all winter.
We dive deep into practical strategies for post-breakup renewal: transforming your living space to be unapologetically yours (goodbye, beard trimmings in the sink!), saging away negative energy with friends, limiting social media doom-scrolling, and adopting positive journaling practices that rewire your brain toward gratitude. Ilma shares her powerful approach: "I only choose to write positive things because your brain will then only remember positive stuff."
Throughout our conversation, we acknowledge the reality that healing isn't linear. Some days you'll feel on top of the world; others you might find yourself analyzing everything and feeling overwhelmed. That's perfectly normal—and knowing that tomorrow brings new possibilities is part of embracing this season of renewal.
So what baggage are you leaving behind this spring? What fresh start are you creating? Listen now to discover how to transform your breakup into a breakthrough, just as winter transforms into spring.Instagram:
