#190 Flipping the Script
If you follow me on Instagram you know that every few weeks I do a series where I ask my followers to share their fears and negative thoughts they've been obsessing about and I turn them into a hopeful statement or an affirmation, and I call it flipping the script. This is such an important practice to adopt to combat the negative obsessions going on in your mind during your breakup. Feel free to come back and listen to this episode as often as you need to.
#189: Ghosting
In honor of today being Halloween, I recorded a solo episode on the topic of ghosting. In this episode I talk about what ghosting is (and what it is not), why people ghost, why we're seeing an increase in ghosting, and how to heal when you're on the receiving end of being ghosted.

#187: The Reality of Getting Back with an Ex
In today’s solo episode I talk about the reality of getting back with an ex. There are so many accounts, content, and information about getting back with an ex but no one talks about what comes afterward and what the most likely scenario of what that looks like. In this episode I lay out everything that would need to be in place for you and your ex to successfully get back together, and how you could continue the relationship without getting trapped in the cycle of breaking up and getting back together over and over again. I' hope that this episode takes some of the glamour out of the idea or hope of getting back together with your ex.

In this episode we talk about what men struggle with, why men don't turn to community in the way they should, how men deal with breakups, and so much more. I also put this disclaimer in the intro but just because we're talking today about the struggles of men does not mean we are taking away from the struggles that women go through.

In today's episode I'm interviewing Jake who has a really inspirational breakup story. His 4.5 year relationship ended 6 months ago, they had looked at rings and he pictured spending the rest of his life with his ex. Then a combination of things led to the breakup, and he talks about owning his part in the breakup, and how he worked through fixing those things. He also talked about finding a life HE loved after the breakup instead of having life revolve around a partner. Jake's episode gives so many great insights.
#174 Why People End Relationships
I recently asked my Instagram community "if you were the one to end the relationship, why did you do it?" and in today's podcast episode I read through some of the answers. The purpose of today's episode is to give you a different perspective on the "dumper". It's easy to assume that the person who ends the relationship does so without much consideration, but I know that's not the truth.
