How to Get Over Your Ex
If every date ends with you thinking, “They’re nice… but they’re not my ex,” this episode is for you. One of the biggest reasons people stay emotionally stuck after a breakup is because they unknowingly use their ex as the benchmark for every new person they meet.

In this episode, I walk you through the three-step framework I use with my coaching clients to figure out why your brain keeps making these comparisons, how...

How to Get Over Your Ex
After a breakup, it’s easy to think you’re grieving the relationship when what you’re actually grieving is the version of yourself you thought you were. The confident version. The chosen version.

Ep. 345 - A Bigger & Better Life Mid-Year Check-In
How to Get Over Your Ex
If you've drifted from the intentions you set at the beginning of the year, this is your reminder that you can always recommit. I'm sharing a personal mid-year check-in on marriage, movement, complaining less, and what helped me get back on track after a challenging season. If you're ready to reset and move into the second half of the year with more intention, this episode is for you.
info_outlineIf you’ve ever thought “I’ve tried everything to get over my ex and nothing is working” this episode is going to explain why. Maybe you’ve done the therapy, the journaling, the gym glow-up, the no contact, the dating apps, the “focus on yourself” advice, the lists of undesirable characteristics … and somehow they still take up space in your mind every single day. In this episode, I share the two biggest shifts that completely changed my own breakup recovery after spending a year and a half stuck obsessing over an ex who had already moved on. We’re talking about the hidden reason time alone doesn’t heal heartbreak, why most breakup advice only treats symptoms instead of the root problem, and what actually has to change if you want to stop thinking about your ex constantly and finally feel free. If you’re exhausted from carrying the emotional weight of someone who’s no longer in your life and scared this feeling will follow you forever, this conversation will show you a completely different way forward.
