Everyone deals with the tough stuff in life differently - and breakups are no exception.
Something that's true for everyone, though, is that having a good korero about your feelings can really help.
Not only do you get a chance to get things off your chest, chances are you might pick up some good advice or just be inspired by someone else who has had their heart broken and come back better than ever.
We asked some of the Mai crew to think back to their past relationship breakups and how they dealt with them, and this is what our Queen K'Lee from Mai Days had to say.
"Learning to be okay on my own after leaving a bad relationship with my whole life in two suitcases was hard. It took me a long time to build the courage to leave with my two kids.
I decided that part of my life doesn't define who I am.
I AM NOT BROKEN, I AM STRONG, AND I AM COURAGEOUS.
Although it was a terrible time in my life, I don't have any regrets and I know that it has shaped me to be a stronger woman and to better prepare my own daughters in their futures.
Fast forward: I now have a beautiful family and know what a healthy, loving relationship is.
Remember it is a choice - you have the choice to be in or out of your relationship - NO ONE should make you feel like you have to stay."
