How to not just survive but thrive after heartbreak

Happy FriYAY, Privates!

I’m so excited to share this latest episode because I used to be the friggin’ worst, messiest, most dramatic person who ever went through a breakup. I got dumped by serious boyfriends twice in my mid to late 20s and then dated a fuck boy who wouldn’t commit in my early 30s, and I did NOT handle it well. 

• Exhibit A: My breakup survival plan? Binge-reading the New York Times Vows column.

• Exhibit B: L.A. Affairs: I begged him to be my boyfriend.

It was so bad I got a ticket from the self-esteem police (read: LAPD, seriously). I’d done a lot of work on myself up to that point, but that ticket was the wake-up call I needed to finally learn how to move on. I met my now-fiancé literally that night, we got together soon after, and we’ve been together for over six years. I hope we stay together for the long haul, but I like to think I’d handle it better if I had to go through a breakup again.

For this episode, I wanted to make the guide that my former self desperately needed. So I enlisted the help of three women who not only harnessed the opportunity in their breakups, but turned it into their life’s work: Amy Chan of Breakup Bootcamp, Kendra Allen of Break Up Bestie, and Gabrielle Stone of Eat, Pray, #FML.

If you’ve recently been dumped or are struggling to get over a past relationship, this episode is for you! It’s the ultimate breakup recovery guide to help you not just survive but thrive after your breakup. No matter how rejected you feel or embarrassing things have gotten with your ex, you CAN heal your heartbreak, and we’ll tell you how. Topics covered include:

• What are attachment styles?
