  • Closure is a Myth

    Closure is a Myth
    Dec 2 2025
    In this week’s episode, Lauren and Bree sit down with Licensed Professional Counselor Suzanne Fortnum to explore the concept of closure—and why it is often a myth. Suzanne explains that seeking a final conversation, apology, or explanation from an ex rarely provides the clarity we hope for and can instead lead to deeper confusion and emotional harm. Together, they discuss healthier, more empowering ways to find closure within yourself, including therapy, journaling, and building a strong support system. The conversation highlights that true closure comes from personal healing and acceptance, not from the person who hurt you. Tune in for an insightful discussion on reclaiming your peace and moving forward on your own terms.
