KEY POINTS

Are you Feeling down about a breakup? You’re not alone. Host Jessica Reyes and guest therapist Joann “JoJo” Venant share how you can rewrite your love story in this new chapter of your life on this segment of “What’s Trending.”

Self-Discovery

Many people see being single as a waiting game, a time to fill until they find “the one.” Therapist JoJo Venant emphasizes that this time is ours because it’s preparation for ourselves. This period of self discovery gives you time to figure out what you really like, what you enjoy doing, your habits, and more.

Emotional Independence

When you’re single, you learn to meet your own needs and soothe your emotions. This can make you a better partner in the future by not relying on someone else to fulfill all your emotional needs, allowing for a more balanced and healthy relationship.

Follow Your Passions

Without the demands of a relationship, you have the freedom to fully immerse yourself in passions, hobbies, and finding your life’s purpose. JoJo says Having passion brings you joy, whether you’re busy or not, so making time for the things that you love is incredibly important.
