In Ant’s case, he shared details about a program he is doing called “Breakup Recovery.” For him, taking this course has been a “lifeline.”

“I am now on Day 30 of this and I have to say it’s been a lifeline for me,” he posted on his Instagram Stories. “If anyone else out there needs this, DO IT!”

People that sign up receive daily videos “to walk you through the process of grieving and letting go.” Members also get “weekly lessons that bring you real clarity,” “weekly exercises focused on growing,” and “learn how to change your patterns” to not repeat mistakes again.

Along with the “Breakup Recover,” Ant also signed up to a group called Rise Up Kings. He recently posted about the retreat along with photos of him at the different activities to be done.

“Thank you @skylarlewis for an eye-opening three days,” Ant posted.
