In today's episode of the Heal Your Heartbreak Podcast I’m tackling something we all deal with after a breakup but don’t always talk about—those "aftershocks" that hit us out of nowhere. You know, like when you see your ex’s car pass by or a song comes on that suddenly takes you back. This idea clicked for me after chatting with Suzy Hopkins and Hallie Bateman and hearing from some of you who are dealing with these feelings too. I’m here to break down why these little triggers happen and, more importantly, how we can handle them without losing our balance. I want to make sure you know you’re not alone, and these moments are just part of the healing rollercoaster.

In this episode of Heal Your Heartbreak, I'm thrilled to welcome the wonderful SC Perot, the author of "Styles of Joy." We dive into SC's incredible story of discovering joy in the middle of some serious life chaos. Picture this: a pandemic hits, her career takes an unexpected turn, and she goes through a really tough divorce—all at once. Just when everything seemed upside down, SC found an unexpected source of happiness in the music of Harry Styles. Not only did she become a superfan, but she also followed his concerts across five countries! Can you imagine? Through these experiences, SC really started thinking about what joy means, why we often overlook it, and how to keep it safe from things like judgment and jealousy. In our chat, we explore her CAPS framework—cultivate, adopt, protect, and spread—on how to create more joy in our lives. Whether you're dealing with a breakup or just looking to add more happy moments to your days, this episode is packed with uplifting stories and practical tips. I can’t wait for you to tune in and get inspired to find your own joy!

In this episode, I chat with Sabrina Zohar, host of the Sabrina Zohar podcast, about why we take breakups so personally and how to shift that mindset. Sabrina shares her journey from difficult relationships and anxiety to creating content that helps others navigate dating and relationships. We dive deep into why rejection hurts so badly from both a psychological and neurological perspective, discussing how our core beliefs and narratives shape our response to breakups. We explore the importance of no contact, why grieving is essential, and why seeing an ex move on with someone else isn't the personal rejection it often feels like. Sabrina offers valuable insights about how what's meant for us won't pass us by and why taking things less personally opens us up to better relationships.

In this episode of Heal Your Heartbreak, I sit down with Suzy Hopkins and Hallie Bateman, marking the first time we've had a mother-daughter duo on the show. They join me to discuss their newly released book, "What to Do When You Get Dumped: A Guide to Unbreaking Your Heart." Suzy shares her personal journey of healing after the sudden end to her 30-year marriage, and how it inspired this candid exploration of the messy, unpredictable, and often lengthy path to recovery after a breakup. Throughout our conversation, Suzy and Hallie provide insights into how writing served as a therapeutic tool for processing grief, the concept of the "muddle" during a breakup's aftermath, and the importance of embracing both the messiness and the small steps that lead to healing. We delve into themes of shame and self-compassion, and they share pivotal moments that marked their journey towards new beginnings. Join us as we explore the profound and relatable aspects of heartache and the resilience required to emerge stronger on the other side.

Through listener questions from social media, I'll delve into various nuances of no contact, addressing common concerns and misunderstandings. Whether it's managing necessary contact when co-parenting or dealing with the temptation to reach out, I'll provide guidance and discuss the broader importance of creating space for personal growth post-breakup.

– Handling rejection and building resilience in dating
