Parents please teach your children to identify their feelings somewhere around age 4 otherwise ^ this might happen.

It's funny how the life transformation in this article is: quitting a job and breaking up with a kind boyfriend against the advice of a parent. These aren't wrong, but... I'm not sold this is an improvement. Maybe this article is targeted at people who already know the author and trust her?

Looking at her bio, the only family connection I can find is, "Proud Mommy". For a "happiness and mortality expert", I would've expected her to say more in her bios across her sites about her loving husband and children. I'm not saying she's bad, I'm just saying that it would be more helpful if she, in general and in this article, talked more about what she's done outside of being a happiness expert. Why should we trust you? How do we know breaking up with this boyfriend was good? Even a comment about how that freed her up to find someone else who was truly better and worth committing to would be better than just selling us on this breakup on basis of her feeling they weren't right.

(And to be clear, I think feelings here are important. You don't have to enter into a relationship if you're not feeling it. A subconscious feeling can be onto something long before your mind is. But I feel that once you're in a relationship that's that intimate, feelings alone shouldn't end it.)
