How to Stop My Heart From Hurting Emotionally

There’s a point in everyone’s journey where “just moving on” stops working.
Where the distractions stop numbing.
Where your body whispers what your heart’s been trying to say for years:
You can’t outrun what still hurts.

This video is for everyone who’s done pretending they're fine.
For the entrepreneur who’s been hustling through heartbreak.
For the achiever who keeps checking goals off the list but still feels like something’s missing inside.

In today’s Rise & Thrive episode, we’re talking about what it really means to stop running from your wounds — and how true healing doesn’t come from avoidance, it comes from awareness.

If you’ve ever said things like:

“I don’t have time to deal with that.”
“I’m fine, it’s in the past.”
“I just need to stay busy.”
Then this conversation will meet you exactly where you are — and gently walk you toward where you’re meant to be.

This isn’t about blaming the people who hurt you.
It’s about becoming the person who’s no longer controlled by what happened.
Because real power isn’t pretending you’re healed — it’s learning how to hold your pain without letting it hold you.

We’ll talk about how emotional wounds impact your business, your relationships, your confidence, and your ability to grow. You’ll leave this video feeling grounded, clear, and ready to reconnect with the parts of yourself that deserve peace.

That conversation was about awareness.
This one? It’s about action.

And if you’re new here, hi — I’m Monique Worotny, founder of Rise & Thrive, where we turn healing into strength and strength into purpose. I help people reclaim their energy, rediscover their identity, and rise into who they were always meant to be.

Whether you’re healing from betrayal, burnout, heartbreak, or that deep sense of disconnection… this episode will remind you that you’re not broken. You’re just becoming.
