Own the Gut Feelings Apr 23, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to Own The Feels - brought to you in partnership with Love Better - where we’re doing our damnedest to help us break-up better - which means owning whatever we’re feeling and learning how to deal with it.

This week we’re talking all about trusting your gut, and what to do when you can’t pinpoint EXACTLY what went wrong in your relationship.

We hear from people who feel like they just ‘fell out of love.’ and how that can make a break-up even more confusing, for both you and your ex. As always, we try to give you some advice on how you can both try to get some closure and move forward into new relationships.

A huge thank you to Love Better, and everyone who gave us their stories to make these podcasts possible. If you want to know more about how to break-up better, listen to next week's episode, and head to https://www.vice.com/en/topic/love-better.

Own the Stalking Signals Apr 16, 2023

Show notes

Whether it’s online or in real life, stalking can be a terrifying thing to deal with (not to mention it can be legit illegal). In this episode we explore the spectrum of stalking, hearing from people who’ve had their every move posted online, their university bedroom trashed, and even had people lie about health diagnoses to get back in their life.

As always, we leave you with tangible ways to spot and stop someone (or yourself) from crossing the line.

Own the Green-Eyed Monster Apr 02, 2023

Show notes

Why, when we break-up with someone, is jealousy often our overriding emotion? I mean it makes sense - you’ve put so much time into this person, you might have even helped them grow into a healthier version of themselves, and now you don’t get to have them in your life anymore? It sucks - but we’re here to help. We can give you a few tips on how to curb the jealousy, how to spot when it moves into obsessive territory, and how to focus on YOU, rather than on them.
