Why the One Who Hurt You Can't Heal You with Najwa Zebian

Why do we spend so much energy trying to understand why someone hurt us — when the truth is, we already have all the closure we need? In today's episode, I'm sitting down with the incredible Najwa Zebian, Lebanese-Canadian author, speaker, and educator, to talk about her powerful new book, The One Who Broke You Can't Heal You. We dive into why so many of us seek closure, validation, and even healing from the very person who hurt us — and why it never actually works. Najwa breaks down why an apology often doesn't heal what you think it will, why it takes cowardice — not courage — to hurt someone, and shares her "go to the circus" mindset shift for finally seeing someone for who they truly are. We also talk about why crying over lost memories can be just as important as finding new joy, what it means to trust yourself again after betrayal, and the freedom that comes from prioritizing your own peace over trying to fix or change someone else. If you're struggling to move on, looking for breakup advice, or want real tools for healing after heartbreak, this episode is a must-listen. In this episode, we cover: Why looking for "why" keeps you trapped in the past The real reason we're drawn to people who hurt us Najwa's "go to the circus" analogy for finally seeing someone clearly Why an apology often doesn't heal what you think it will How to stop taking responsibility for someone else's choices Why grieving happy memories is part of moving on 📖 Get the book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/bo... 📱 Follow Najwa:   / najwazebian   🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/397zouL... 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 💬 Been through something similar?
