Episode 256: Punishment Doesn’t Work in Adulthood Either Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

Doing bad things doesn’t make you a bad person, it makes you a PERSON. Now’s the time to use your mistakes as a roadmap for better decisions rather than evidence of your evilness; to move forward after cheating with a more realistic understanding of your wounds, not in mourning over the “perfect” relationship you “ruined.” (Because—get this—it wasn’t perfect if it couldn’t handle your messiness.)

Episode 255: You Can Only Say Your Truth So Many Times Mar 29, 2023

Show notes

You can’t love your partner out of their insecurities. You can tell them your truth, and eventually, they’ll just have to choose to believe you. If they can’t, it might be time for a classic JBU (WOW it’s been a while!). You deserve to be with someone who isn’t constantly asking you to prove your love.

Episode 254: The Emotional Block-Block-Block Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

Our feelings are 100% valid but also 100% our responsibility. Other people aren’t hurting us just because we’re hurt (even if they did break “girl code,” like a friend dating our ex). Instead of trying to control the narrative, how can you decenter yourself in your understanding of their relationship, accept the inevitability of nuance, and self-soothe on your time?

Episode 253: Good News! You Get to Make Better Choices Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

It’s okay that people hold versions of you in their mind that you don’t agree with. It’s also inevitable. Reaching out to an ex to explain what “really” happened doesn’t usually help anyone, and might even hurt them. If you know your truth, does it matter that others don’t? Can you release the need for validation and let them process the relationship for themselves?
