I talk a lot in this podcast about practicing the no contact rule but I wanted to do an episode on what to do IF you do hear from your ex and how to handle it. I go through when to respond, when not to respond, how to set proper boundaries, what it "means" if you hear from them, and more!

#167 How to “Act as If” in your Breakup
I often talk on Instagram and the podcast that "acting as if" is the best way to move forward from the breakup when you don't fully accept the circumstances yet, but what does that mean? In this episode I talk all about how the best way to change your thinking is to first act as if and change your actions. What actions should you take when you're trying to move forward? What if I don't want to move on from my breakup? I answer all of that and more in today's episode.
#166: Because You’re Human
In today's episode I talk about the phrase I respond to so many DM's and questions with which is "it's because you're human". I talk about how we hold ourselves to an unrealistic expectation when going through a breakup and don't take into account that we're human beings with a broken heart. This episode encourages a lot of self compassion and grace and is great for anyone who finds themselves questioning their emotions and reactions post breakup.

#163 The Difference Between Giving Up and Surrendering
In today's solo episode I'm talking all about the difference between giving up on a relationship and surrendering. I often get messages saying that I'm promoting people breaking up which isn't at all the case, I'm all about doing the work to make a relationship work but there comes a time when we have to let go and surrender when something is no longer working. I talk about why surrendering doesn't mean losing, it means being in acceptance and no longer fighting the reality of what's going on.
#162 My Thoughts on Conscious Uncoupling
In today's episode I share my thoughts on the idea of conscious uncoupling and I talk about why it's so common that celebrities say that they're remaining friends in their public statements, and why the way breakups are portrayed in the media can be harmful to those actively going through breakups. I also share my journey in the beginning of Break Up Bestie when conscious uncoupling first became a thing and how it made me question my breakup philosophy for a hot second.

#160: The “Strength” To Go No Contact
In today's solo episode I'm breaking down the myth that going no contact with your ex requires will power or strength.

I also talk about how maintaining No Contact doesn't have to do with your will power it has to do with the systems in place you have to make sure you don't break it.

#158: If They Wanted to They Would??
