As we turn a page and begin a new chapter, we wanted to share some of our favourite moments from Constellate Stories with our listeners, with our community, with our friends and family. Since we launched, we have met with 90 people who wanted to tell a story. Some of you were friends, others were acquaintances and most were strangers. All became friends. We have laughed and cried, we have rejoiced and we have mourned. Most importantly we shared and we have built community through our vulnerability. This is for you.

Vee Meyer harvests heart ache, chops it up with a rusty knife, mashes it with bloodied fists, beats it to a pulp, adds tears, leaves it to ferment in a dark closet, decants it into discarded bottles and smashes it over your head in this episode about a break up. If you have felt the pain of love and rejection, grab a pail of ice cream and your snuggiest of blankets, cuz this episode is for you.
