Note to All Listeners: Ghosting is defined as: The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication (Oxford Languages).
When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

Music can serve as a profound source of healing, especially in the aftermath of being ghosted. In this episode, Gretta has conversations with two remarkably talented musicians who transformed their experiences of being ghosted into incredible songs. Gustavo Zaiah and Marie Pratt, hailing from different countries, share insights about ghosting and the journey toward healing.
