Live from Norfolk, Tonight’s Conversation: Live & Uncut gets brutally honest about what “healing” really looks like — and why so many people use new relationships to cover old pain.
When one woman admits she jumped into something new to get over her ex, the room lights up with laughter, truth, and uncomfortable silence. The panel breaks down how distraction often disguises itself as progress, why some people fear solitude, and how emotional wounds resurface when you try to skip the real work.
From infidelity to self-reflection to the blurred line between “moving on” and “moving too fast,” this Norfolk crowd got the message loud and clear: a new man might make you feel better, but he can’t make you whole.
