Fallen Out Of A Love Nest? Gentle Support for Lesbian Heartbreak

This weekend, my daughter and I wandered through beaches, mangroves, and natural springs along Florida’s West Coast — soaking in birdsong and salt air.

At Honeymoon Island State Park, I spotted osprey, bald eagle, and great horned owl nests — all sturdy, artful homes in the trees. But one nest made me pause. It was square-shaped, almost like… a box? Not like any nest I’d seen before.

Then I saw the plaque.

A young eagle had fallen from its original nest and couldn’t return. But human kindness intervened. First, a visitor noticed. Then the park team brought the baby to a vet. And finally, they built a new nest out of a milk crate, lining it with moss and pine needles, and securing it high in a tree.

They weren’t sure it would work. But it did. The parents returned. The young eagle grew strong and healthy, and one day, flew.

That story stayed with me.

Because sometimes we fall out of love’s nest, too.

Sometimes, we find ourselves hurt, unheld, and unsure how to get back up there, where we can find  safety, connection, hope.

Sometimes we need to just rest on the ground for a while and evaluate the damage and figure out what we most need to put our inner and outer home together. Step by step, at a pace that works for you, and honors the pain that comes from falling hard, and remembers the strength inside to get you back on track.

And while group spaces are powerful (and Conscious Girlfriend Academy is full of them), sometimes what we need most is someone by our side. A calm, steady presence who can help us gather moss and pine needles… and build a new kind of nest.

That’s the gift of 1-on-1 coaching. Whether your heart is freshly bruised or just tired of circling the same sky alone, a skilled coach can help you create the solid, loving structure you need to recover, reconnect, and rise again.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. You don’t have to fly solo.

If you’ve fallen…out of love, or out of trust, or just feel out of steam, reach out. I’d love to talk with you and help you see if some coaching with me, or something else, might be just the thing you need to get back in the air.
