After the Breaking: Stories of What We Rebuild After Life Breaks Us

We all break at some point. A divorce. A brutal breakup. A career that falls apart. An empty nest. A moment where you look up and realize you don't know who you are anymore. I'm Marya Kazmi — also known as Brown Girl Interrupting — and I know that moment intimately. I walked into marriage at twenty-three and out at forty, raised four children, and spent years gathering myself back up from the shattered pieces that narcissistic relationship left behind. After the Breaking is what comes next. This is a space for healing that isn't ethereal or out of reach — it's honest, lived-in, and human. Here I share the tools, the stories, and the hard-won lessons of coming home to yourself: releasing control, unlearning old narratives, letting go of resentment, and stepping forward as who you actually are. If life has broken you open, you're in the right place. Not because I have it all figured out — but because I'm walking this road too, and I refuse to walk it quietly. Bold, not bitter. Come rise with me.

  <p>I broke. Not quietly, not gracefully — into shattered pieces that took years to gather back up. Seventeen years of marriage that I walked into at twenty-three and walked out of at forty, four children, and a version of myself I no longer recognized on the other side of a narcissistic relationship.

  The Skin We Shed: Every Version I Outgrew | After the Breaking | Ep 6

  Aug 19, 202631 minS1

  <p>I used to think healing meant going back — back to who I was before it all broke. But she was never coming back. She was the skin, not the self.<br/><br/>In this episode of After the Breaking, I'm sharing the five skins we shed after a marriage or relationship ends — and the woman who grows underneath.<br/><br/>In this episode: • Shedding self-abandonment for self-loyalty • Trading performing "okayness" for modeling repair with our children • Moving from auditioning to be chosen → to discerning who even earns a seat at the table • Releasing the shrinking, the fawning, the over-explaining — for quiet author...

  She Forgot She Was Capable | After the Breaking | Ep 3

  Aug 19, 202628 minS1

  <p>Emotional abuse doesn't just break your heart.<br/>It breaks your ability to trust your own mind.<br/>The second-guessing. The self-doubt. The inability to make a simple decision without needing someone else to confirm you're not wrong. The shrinking at work, in parenting, in friendships — in your own life.<br/>That's not weakness. That's what happens when someone spends years quietly dismantling your sense of reality.<br/>In this episode of After the Breaking, we name the part of emotional abuse that nobody talks about — the slow, deliberate erosion of self-competence. And we talk about what it actually look...

  <p>What if the reason you keep going quiet — agreeing when you don't, staying small when you want to speak — isn't a character flaw?<br/>What if it's a scar?<br/>In this episode of After the Breaking, I'm getting into something I lived for seventeen years inside a marriage built on emotional abuse, and that I've spent the eight years since trying to unlearn: the pattern of shrinking to stay safe.<br/><br/>If any of it sounds like yours, you're in the right place.<br/><br/>If you're ready to go deeper, Empowerment Unlocked is open — five sessions of rea...
