Hello, I'm Jay Carvalho, founder of Breakups to Beasts. My journey began in 2021, during one of the darkest periods of my life. I was fighting depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and broken relationships. I needed a way out of the pain and a path to becoming a better version of myself. Over the years I built routines that carried me through: meditation, journaling, cold showers, reading, learning new skills, and training. I started working out around 14 or 15, when I was skinny, insecure, and bullied. Training became more than physical. It gave me mental strength, confidence, and discipline. Those daily practices helped me heal, make major life decisions, seek forgiveness, grow spiritually, build businesses, and become a more grounded man. Five months ago I went through the worst heartbreak of my life. It led me to Christ. I grew up atheist, and accepting Jesus changed how I see purpose, values, and peace. That's why I started creating content: to help people facing what I faced, and to show a way to live with faith, integrity, and growth. I know what it's like to feel lost and broken, and to wonder if you'll ever feel peace again. That's why I created Breakups to Beasts. A breakup can break you down. It can also be where you rebuild: mind, body, and spirit, as a new, stronger creation. You were not broken to stay broken. This isn't just a community. It's a movement: - To heal and build real clarity, peace, and resilience - To build routines and habits that lead to lasting change - To become the best version of yourself, men and women alike - To lift up the people who are struggling the most I'll walk with you, step by step, day by day. Introduce yourself below 👇🏼 1. Who are you? 2. What brought you here? 3. What are you working through right now? 4. Who do you want to become?

My whole life I have struggled with anxiety to the point where sometimes it turns into panic attacks. Not good I know, but here is a few things I do that really helped me overcome my anxiety to the point where I rarely have anxiety or attacks at all. 1) Meditation ( cannot stress this enough) - I like to use these guided meditation on YouTube by the "Calm" channel. This has helped me tremendously. 2) Having a support group - I use to think it would make me look weak if I talked about problems I'm having to friends or family. But that is just not the case, if any of your friends or family look down on you or call you weak for talking about issues that you are having, I would not associate myself with those people. Real friends and family will help you and be a support system for any difficult things that you are going through. 3) Deepening my faith - This is my top advice for anyone struggling with anxiety or stress. Learning to let go and give it over to the lord has helped me in ways I cannot explain. God will steer but you must row! Hopefully this helps anyone that suffers from anxiety and stress. If anyone has any questions or wants to talk feel free to reach out. God Bless ❤️
