#112 Overcoming a Blindsided Breakup with Natasha B.
On today's listener episode I got the opportunity to talk with Natasha B. Natasha went through a breakup about 7 months prior to our interview after being with her partner for 2.5 years. Her breakup came unexpected and without closure, which is such a good example and situation of how you can put so much into a relationship and do so many things right - but can't fix a relationship that isn't with the right person. She talks about her journey of how she came to realize that, and in turn move on from that. In her breakup, Natasha doesn't follow the No Contact Rule - which is something I talk about often, but it's a great opportunity to hear from someone who did have contact with their ex throughout their breakup and how that factored into her overall healing process.
This is such a great episode on starting fresh, and a real & true example of overcoming struggle and heartbreak.
#111 Breakups Due To Mental Health Issues
On today's solo episode, we are talking about breakups and mental health. As a disclaimer for this episode, I am not a therapist and I am not a psychologist, but am just here to share my personal experiences. In this episode, we talk about different things that we can control and what we can't in regards to mental health in relationships & breakups, how mental health issues influence our relationships, and how it's not your fault or responsibility to heal or fix anyone.
#110: The Physical Effects of Heartbreak with Florence Williams
On today's episode I had the opportunity to interview Florence Williams, journalist, author, and podcaster. Florence specializes in the physical and scientific effects of our body when experiencing a breakup. She talks about what is going on in our body, and how our brain is responding to the pain we are feeling. We can all relate and understand that there is something physical happening, through the immense pain we are experiencing through our heartbreak. She talks more in-depth about how our immune system is impacts, what happens in our brain, and how loneliness feels physically & painfully uncomfortable. Just a great episode, with incredible information - tune in to learn more!
#109 The Difference Between Men and Women
On today’s solo episode, we are talking about the differences between men & women going through a breakup. There are so many stereotypes and myths about how men and women experience breakups so differently, but since running Breakup Bestie and hearing more stories and experiences from the male side - it’s become so clear how similarly the experiences truly are.
#108 Toxic Relationships with Dr. Heidi Brocke
On today's episode I got the opportunity to interview expert Dr. Heidi Brocke who is a toxic relationship awareness and healing specialist. After spending a long time in a narcissistic and toxic relationship herself, she now coaches others in identifying their own toxic relationships and how to get out of them. On today's episode we talk about what a toxic relationship is, coming out of a toxic relationship, and what the difference is between abusive & toxic.
#107 Never Getting An Apology
On today's solo episode, we are talking about never getting an apology from your ex. This topic is tough because at the end of the day, we can't force an apology out of our ex - but that doesn't make it any less difficult to deal with in break ups. Things we cover in this episode are how to move on when you deserve an apology but don't get one, why you shouldn't wait for an apology, and how to deal with the emotions of anger and resentment over not getting the apology you deserve.
#106: Owning Your Part with Kyle
This is officially the first male listener episode we've had here on the Heal Your Heartbreak Podcast, and you won't be disappointed! I got to interview Kyle, who got out of an on and off relationship five months ago. They had rushed into things, and he knew deep down things just weren't right, but he did what he could to stay in the relationship. Throughout the episode, Kyle talks about how much he lost himself through trying to save and salvage his relationship. Following the breakup he took his healing process head on, and shares about how he incorporated journaling, therapy, talking with friends, and also how he hit the pause button to really take the time to feel all the feelings. This episode is such a good one, and reflects everything I would prescribe to find healing post breakup.
#105: How To Change Who You Attract
On today's episode we talk about how to change who you are attracting in your relationships. After breakups a lot of us ask ourselves why we attract people who hurt us, and there are big differences between dating mistakes most of us make, and PATTERNS that are likely linked to beliefs we have about ourselves. In this episode we dive into how to following a breakup we can best use our time to make some changes that allow you to change the type of person you attract in the future, change your beliefs about yourself, and how to ask questions to really learn more about yourself to help break some of those patterns in the future.
#104: Guy Winch: How To Fix A Broken Heart.
In today's expert episode, I had the chance to interview psychologist Guy Winch. He is vastly known for his TEDTalk How To Fix A Broken Heart. In this episode we talk about the experience of heartbreak and why it is just so painful, but also why as a society we don't recognize how truly painful the experience of heartbreak can really be. We talk more about why we obsess on our ex, or obsess over closure and the possibility of getting back together. Guy is an expert on heartbreak, and there is just so much goodness in this episode, I'm honored to have him as our guest!
#103: Unrequited Love
Welcome back to another solo episode, talking about unrequited love - which is laymen's terms is love that is not reciprocated. This is for those of you who may be in a current relationship situation like this, or you're coming out of one. Throughout this episode we talk more about what unrequited love is, what it feels like, how you can know if this is something you're experiencing, and how to deal with it.
#102: Listener Story Danielle: The Real + Relatable Break Up Struggles
On today's episode of the Heal Your Heartbreak podcast, I got to talk with Danielle who is a former coaching client of mine. She is so relatable, and really opens up about the real side of a break up that so many of you can likely resonate with. She shares a lot of her early on struggles along with everything she learned and turned it into a really empowering story. She had me laughing constantly, and I know our listeners will love Danielle and her story.
#101 How To Be OK Single
On today's solo episode we talk about how to be OK single. If you're someone who has never spent time single the most important thing you can do is to spend time single, and find how liberating and empowering it can be. Being OK single doesn't mean you want to be single forever, it just means that you know how to be content in the situation you're in. When you can get to a place where you are content on your own, you're automatically raising the bar for the next partner you bring into your life. Tune in for my take on the benefits of being OK single, and how to tackle the fear & discomfort associated with it.
#100 Owning Who You Are with Gina Devee
Welcome to the 100th episode of the Heal Your Heartbreak Podcast! On today's episode I got to talk with Gina Devee, a leading women's empowerment mentor and author of The Audacity to Be Queen. Gina and I talked about a lot of different things when it comes to relationships, including her own journey in "the school of love", overcoming a number of obstacles to overcome her relationship patterns and in turn become aware of them in order to change. We also talk about how to learn to own what you want, own whats important to you, and own how you want to feel in your relationships so that when you do start dating you know exactly how you want to feel, and the type of person you want to attract into your life. Gina's overall message comes down to owning who you are, and that is something all of us can benefit from!

#99 Whats normal to feel when you start dating?
In this episode I want to shed some light on some things you will likely experience once you dip your toe back into the dating scene. First things first, it's normal to feel reallllly nervous and not excited about dating again. I remember my friends were trying to hype me up and they were expecting me to be excited about it but it was something I was dreading. Throughout this episode we talk about some feelings you might have, and things you might experience that are a normal part of starting to date again post breakup. If you experience any of these things, it does not mean you aren't ready - it's just normal growing pains!
#98 Listener Story: When Your Ex Can’t Commit.
On today's listener story, I interviewed Elaina who was a former coaching client of mine! I got to see her at the height of her heartbreak, and now how far she's come. Elaina is 32 years old, from Brooklyn, New York and she shares her story about how she was in a situationship for a year that ended up evolving into a relationship and how it finally ended when they realized it was going to go anywhere. We dive further into the shock and anxiety that can evolve when you're in a relationship with someone who can't commit, and how she was able to make sense of it all without personalizing it. I am such a big fan of Elaina, and she does such a great job of opening up about how she worked through this heartbreak, and know this episode will be so helpful for our listeners.
#97 Therapy + Break ups
On today's solo episode we are talking about therapy + break ups. I talk about the importance of therapy, how beneficial it can be, and how to get the most out of your sessions. I know going to therapy can be scary and intimidating for some, so I wanted to share what blocked me from seeing a therapist in the past, but also how making the decision to go was so helpful for healing. Going through a break up is hard, as most of you know - but going to therapy helped me with my feelings, seeing my behavior pattern from an outside perspective, and how to be more in tough with my intuition. My hope for this episode is to help you get the confidence to go to therapy, and to understand how beneficial it can be!
