#270 Reclaiming Yourself After Heartbreak: How to Take Back What Was Lost May 20, 2025

Show notes

Today I’m taking you solo through a topic that hits close to home—reclaiming the things that feel lost after a breakup. Whether it’s a favorite song, a restaurant, a hobby, or even an entire part of town, breakups often leave us avoiding things we used to love.

In this episode, I’m sharing stories from listeners and my own experience about what we feel our exes “took” from us, and how I learned to gently approach those triggers in my own healing process. I’ll walk you through figuring out what’s actually worth bringing back into your life, when you might be ready, and how to create new, empowering rituals around those things.

#269 How to Forgive with Dara McKinley May 13, 2025

Show notes

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with forgiveness expert Dara McKinley. We’re tackling a topic that’s come up a lot in breakups but rarely gets broken down: how do you actually forgive?

Dara shares her personal story about searching for step-by-step advice on forgiveness and realizing that most resources only tell us why we "should" forgive—and not how. Together, we unpack common misconceptions, like thinking forgiveness means excusing someone’s behavior, and explore why it’s really about finding peace for yourself.

We touch on the importance of timing, self-forgiveness, and why forgiveness is a tool for your own healing, not something that lets anyone else off the hook. If you’re struggling with resentment after a breakup or are just feeling stuck, this episode is for you. And if you want to go deeper, Dara’s “How to Forgive” course is available now!
