#76 - How to Recover From a Breakup and Heal Your Heart
Let’s be real: you’re not just “going through a breakup” — you’re surviving a full-on emotional earthquake. Your appetite’s gone, your brain is a 24/7 rerun of “Why did they leave?”, and you may or may not be having one-way convos with your ex in the shower. (Again: no judgment.)
In this episode, I’m walking you through how to recover from a breakup in a way that’s grounded, healthy, and actually works. As a therapist, marriage counselor, and coach, I’ve supported thousands of people through this. But I’ve also been through it myself. And I want you to know this: you’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re heartbroken. And there’s a way forward that doesn’t involve self-blame, emotional spirals, or texting your ex “just to check in.”
Let’s talk about why breakups hit us so hard, the science behind love and loss, and what you can actually do to start feeling like yourself again.

P.S. If you’re wondering what stage of healing you’re currently in, take my breakup recovery quiz: How Over Your Ex Are You? You’ll get a personalized report of where you are in your healing journey and what the next best steps are to move forward.
And, if someone you love is hurting right now — maybe a friend, sister, or your group chat buddy who’s just been ghosted — please forward this to them. We all need a little extra support sometimes, and this might be the exact message they need to hear today.
