On today's listener episode, I got to interview Maggie who got out of a year and a half relationship back in November. With this being her first serious relationship, she didn't have a lot of context on what a "normal relationship" looked like. We talk about her journey in learning that it's OKAY to have needs. Having and expressing needs in a relationship shows self-confidence, self-worth, and self-esteem. Tune in to hear more about Maggie, her story, and her process of healing from her heartbreak.

We've talked about attachment theory before on the podcast, but Jessica elaborates more and talks about anxious attachment in relationships. How you can exist in a peaceful, grounded relationship even as an anxious person. We tend to feel like if we have an anxious attachment style that we are doomed in future relationships, but Jessica talks about all the things we can do on individual levels and within our support system outside of our relationship.

#116 Do Ex’s Always Come Back?
On today's solo episode we are talking about the topic of Do Ex's Always Come Back? Some of the unhelpful advice we sometimes hear on social media, is "they always come back", but this isn't always the case. Throughout this episode we will dive into some of the reasons ex's do come back, as well as why they don't. You attract what you promote, so often times the fact that your ex hasn't come back means you've outgrown them in a good way.

#113 Why Your Ex Was Mean Post Breakup.
On today's solo episode I wanted to cover a question I get a lot on our Thursday Q&A that we do over on my Instagram page @yourbreakupbestie. When your ex is mean to you post breakup it feels awful, and it's a fair question to want an answer to, and to feel confused about. There are a lot of variations of this situation whether they are cold during the breakup, or after it hurts regardless. Breakups are really shocking and hard no matter what, but if this is something that happened to you in the midst of your breakup - tune in as we dive into more.
#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!
