#147 - Should You Have Sex With Your Ex?
Let’s be real — sex with your ex is rarely just about sex. If you’re wrestling with the urge to reconnect physically with your ex after a breakup, or stuck in a situationship with them that feels more painful than healing, this episode is for you.
Today on the Love, Happiness & Success podcast, I’m getting honest about what’s really going on when you feel the urge to have sex with ex partners. We’ll explore the deeper psychological and biological bonds that make letting go so difficult, and why continuing to have sex with your ex can quietly (but powerfully) sabotage your healing.
You’ll also hear from a listener who’s still living with his ex (and still in love), and we’ll walk through his story together to explore the emotional traps so many of us fall into after a breakup. No judgment here — just clarity, compassion, and a loving reality check.
Whether you're texting, cohabitating, or tangled up in late-night hookups, here’s the truth: the longer you stay in limbo, the more it costs you. You deserve peace, clarity, and a real path forward — and I’m here to help you find it.

And if you’re feeling seen by this episode, I want you to pause and take a deep breath. You're not alone — and you're definitely not crazy. I’m here for you. I created my Heal From Heartbreak program after working with thousands of people just like you: people in pain, obsessing over their ex, stuck in these same cycles.
What I saw was that traditional therapy wasn’t always enough to help with heartbreak. People needed a structure. A map. A method. A guided journey from heartbreak to clarity to emotional freedom.
The Heal From Heartbreak program walks you through the nine essential stages of healing, from the early withdrawal phase to rebuilding your identity and learning to love again — for real, this time.
You are worthy of so much more than emotional crumbs. Let’s help you let go — and find the love (and life) you truly deserve. And you can start right now.
