| #36 Blindsided: When a Breakup Comes Out of Nowhere | 09 Mar 2026 | 00:20:50 | |
In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly explores the emotional shock of a blindsiding breakup — the kind that feels like it comes completely out of nowhere. When a relationship ends suddenly without warning, it can disrupt your sense of stability, predictability, and emotional safety. Many people describe this experience as deeply traumatic because there was no time to mentally prepare for the loss. Kelly discusses why sudden breakups can feel so destabilising, the role your nervous system plays in processing the shock, and why the person ending the relationship may have been emotionally preparing long before the breakup conversation happened. If you've ever found yourself obsessing over what went wrong, replaying conversations, or searching for the “perfect explanation,” this episode offers practical guidance on how to process the shock, rebuild your self-worth, and begin healing.

| #35 When Your Ex Gives the Next Girl Everything You Asked For | 02 Mar 2026 | 00:21:58 | |
In this solo episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly dives into one of the most painful and triggering post-breakup experiences: seeing your ex move on. Whether it’s through social media, mutual friends, or simply knowing they’re treating someone new differently, watching an ex appear happier, more consistent, or more emotionally available can hit your self-worth hard. Kelly unpacks why this experience hurts so deeply, what it actually means (and what it doesn’t), and the four main reasons an ex might show up differently in a new relationship. She explores the psychology behind ego, comparison, and rejection and reminds listeners that someone else receiving what you once asked for does not mean you weren’t worthy of it. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “Why couldn’t he do that for me?” this episode will help you reframe the narrative, protect your peace, and continue healing without letting comparison pull you backwards. 📧 Share your story for the “Where Is She Now?” segment: info@kellyskoaching.com 📲 Follow Kelly on Instagram & TikTok: @kellyskoaching | |||
| #26 Should You Get Back With Your Ex? Questions to Ask Before Reconnecting | 22 Dec 2025 | 00:26:15 | |
Christmas week can be a vulnerable time after a breakup — emotions are heightened, loneliness feels louder, and old memories can creep back in. In this solo episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly explores one of the most common (and complicated) questions people ask during a breakup: Should I get back with my ex? Kelly unpacks the difference between missing someone and missing connection, and why reconciliation should never be a reaction to loneliness, nostalgia, or fear. This episode invites listeners to slow down, reflect honestly, and assess whether getting back together would actually create emotional safety, trust, and long-term fulfillment — or simply repeat old patterns. Kelly walks through the key questions you need to ask yourself before reopening the door to a past relationship, including why the breakup happened, whether anything has truly changed, and how to identify red flags versus green flags in a potential reconnection. She also encourages listeners to define their ideal partner and to prioritise their own happiness, growth, and future — especially during emotionally charged times of year. This episode is a reminder that choosing yourself is not the same as giving up on love. 📧 Share your story for the “Where Is She Now?” segment: info@kellyskoaching.com 📲 Follow Kelly on Instagram & TikTok: @kellyskoaching 🔗 Explore all links & resources: Linktree | |||
| #25 Breakups to Breakthroughs: Healing After Heartbreak with Caroline McKenna | 15 Dec 2025 | 00:51:01 | |
Heartbreak has a way of shaking your identity, your confidence, and your sense of direction but what if it’s also the beginning of something bigger? In Episode 25 of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly is joined by Caroline McKenna, author of Breakups to Breakthroughs, to explore how heartbreak can become a powerful catalyst for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. Caroline shares her own journey through a painful breakup that forced her to slow down, feel her emotions, and completely re-evaluate who she was outside of a relationship. Together, Kelly and Caroline unpack why breakups can feel as devastating as a bereavement, how identity often becomes entangled with partnership, and why rushing the healing process can do more harm than good. The conversation dives into attachment styles, how they shape our relationship patterns, and why understanding them can bring clarity and compassion — both for ourselves and our exes. They also explore the theory of the three loves, helping listeners reframe past relationships without romanticising them or seeing them as failures. This episode is a reminder that being single — especially in your 30s — is not something to “fix,” but something that can be deeply fulfilling. From mindset shifts and emotional processing to trusting the timing of your life, this conversation offers reassurance, perspective, and hope for anyone navigating heartbreak or learning how to thrive on their own. If you’re going through a breakup, questioning your path, or learning how to trust yourself again, this episode will help you see that healing doesn’t mean going backwards — it often means stepping into something better. ✨ In This Episode, We Cover:

Whether you’re navigating your first Christmas post-breakup or your fifth, this episode offers the validation, grounding, and practical support you need.

In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly opens Season Three by tackling one of the most gut-wrenching parts of heartbreak: when your ex moves on before you. Whether you found out through social media, mutual friends, or pure accident, that moment hits like a punch to the chest. Kelly breaks down why this triggers panic, intrusive thoughts, comparison spirals, and the sudden fear that “I’ve been replaced.” Rather than focusing on the other person, this episode helps you understand your nervous system, your emotions, and why this moment does not mean you’ve lost, failed, or fallen behind. Kelly explains: This episode is your reminder that your healing isn’t a race, your worth hasn’t been touched, and someone else’s relationship is not a reflection of your value.

In Episode 21 of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly dives deep into one of the messiest — but most transformative — parts of healing after a breakup: From physical belongings to photos, social media, and the sentimental bits that keep you emotionally tied to your ex, Kelly breaks down exactly how to navigate the clear-out stage without spiraling… or sobbing over a hoodie. Kelly shares her own experiences from the end of her marriage and her most recent relationship — the anger, the awkwardness, the redecorating, the archiving, the box-in-the-storage-room era — and the strategies she used to reclaim her space and identity. You’ll learn why clearing out your ex’s belongings isn’t erasing your past — it’s creating space for your future. She also breaks down why archiving photos is better than keeping them visible, how social media prolongs heartache, why blocking is a form of self-respect, and how your algorithm can either help you heal or keep you stuck. The episode ends with a powerful Where Is She Now? listener story — a woman blindsided by a breakup who rebuilt her life, found peace, and realised she was never the problem. This episode is a must-listen if you’re heartbroken, stuck, or procrastinating the clear-out that you know you need to do.

In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly talks about something that doesn’t get said enough during breakup recovery: healing isn’t linear. You can be doing great. You can feel strong, grounded, and clear and then suddenly have a dip day that makes you question everything. That doesn’t mean you’re back at square one. It doesn’t mean you’ve undone your progress. It means you’re human. Kelly explores the emotional rollercoaster that can come with healing after a breakup, why bad days are part of the process, and how emotional resilience is built through allowing yourself to feel- not suppressing it. She shares practical advice on coping with emotional dips, recognising triggers and avoiding impulsive decisions when you’re feeling vulnerable. The episode also includes a listener’s story about walking away from a relationship that looked “good on paper,” highlighting the strength it takes to choose yourself, even when nothing dramatic has happened. This episode is a reminder that progress isn’t about never struggling again. It’s about learning how to navigate the hard days with self-compassion instead of self-criticism. 📧 Share your story for the “Where Is She Now?” segment: info@kellyskoaching.com | |||

| #32 Rebranding Your Life After a Breakup (Without Forcing a Glow Up) | 01 Feb 2026 | 00:26:50 | |
In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly explores how a breakup, as painful as it is, can become a powerful turning point for personal growth. Instead of rushing to “move on” or forcing a glow-up, Kelly invites listeners to see a breakup as an opportunity to consciously rebrand their life. The episode focuses on identity after a relationship, how to reconnect with who you are outside of a partnership & how to decide who you want to become next. Kelly also responds to a listener dilemma about seeking closure after a long-term relationship, unpacking why closure often isn’t something an ex can give you, but something you can create for yourself. This episode is a gentle but empowering reminder that healing doesn’t have to be dramatic or rushed. Sometimes, it’s about small, intentional changes, protecting your energy, and choosing yourself again- one step at a time! | |||
| #31 How the Victim Mindset Keeps You Stuck After a Breakup | 26 Jan 2026 | 00:32:52 | |
In this solo episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly tackles a difficult but necessary topic: the victim mentality after a breakup. Kelly explains the difference between being hurt and staying stuck. While pain, betrayal, and grief are completely valid responses to heartbreak, allowing those experiences to become your identity can quietly keep you trapped in the past. This episode explores how a victim mindset can show up after a breakup — and how it can block healing, confidence, and future relationships. Kelly breaks down the signs that you may be stuck in this mindset, including replaying the same breakup story, feeling powerless about your future, and unconsciously keeping your ex at the center of your life. With honesty and compassion, she challenges listeners to take responsibility for what happens next — not by dismissing their pain, but by refusing to let it define them. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing requires self-awareness, courage, and choice. Your breakup can be a turning point — but only if you decide to move forward. 🔗 Links & Resources 📧 Share your story for the Where Is She Now? segment: info@kellyskoaching.com | |||
| #30 Male Loneliness, Modern Dating & Why Blaming Women Misses the Point | 19 Jan 2026 | 00:34:46 | |
In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly unpacks the growing conversations around declining birth rates, the so-called “male loneliness epidemic,” and the way responsibility for these societal issues is often unfairly placed on women. Kelly explores how modern relationships have fundamentally changed — particularly as women are no longer financially dependent on men and are increasingly prioritising emotional fulfillment, self-worth, and personal growth. Rather than rushing into relationships or settling after breakups, many women are choosing to heal, reflect, and raise their standards — leading to healthier partnerships in the long run. This episode challenges the narrative that women are “too picky” or anti-men, and instead reframes the conversation around emotional intelligence, maturity, and mutual effort in modern dating. Kelly also speaks directly to men, encouraging emotional accountability, self-reflection, and therapy as part of the solution — rather than blame. A thought-provoking episode that ties together breakups, dating culture, and the broader societal shifts shaping relationships today.

| #29 Help, I Broke No Contact - Now What? | 12 Jan 2026 | 00:38:23 | |
Breaking no contact after a breakup can feel overwhelming, shame-inducing, and emotionally destabilising — but it’s also incredibly common. In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly gently unpacks what it really means when you break no contact, why it happens, and how to regain your footing without spiralling or beating yourself up. Kelly reframes no contact as a tool for healing, not a test of strength, and explores the emotional triggers that often lead to reaching out — from loneliness and alcohol to nostalgia and nervous system dysregulation. She offers grounded, practical advice on what to do after you’ve sent the message, how to stop the follow-up spiral, and how to re-establish boundaries that protect your peace. This episode is a compassionate reminder that healing is not linear, slips don’t erase progress, and self-discipline grows through self-understanding — not self-punishment. Whether you’ve just broken no contact, you’re tempted to, or you’re trying to stay strong, this episode will help you respond with clarity, calm, and self-respect. ✨ Key Takeaways

| #37 The Breakup You Saw Coming: Why It Still Hurts So Much | 16 Mar 2026 | 00:28:28 | |
In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly explores a very different kind of breakup- the one you knew was coming. Sometimes relationships don’t end suddenly. Instead, they slowly reach a point where unresolved issues, repeated conversations & differences about the future start to build up over time. You might feel the tension, sense the uncertainty & quietly wonder if the relationship will last… but still keep going anyway. Kelly discusses why people stay in relationships even when they suspect the end may be approaching, why these breakups can still feel incredibly painful & why it’s so tempting to go back once the relationship ends. Drawing from her own experience, she also talks about the emotional complexity of “kicking the can down the road” in a relationship- hoping problems will resolve themselves, delaying difficult conversations & eventually reaching the moment where someone has to address the elephant in the room. If you've ever been in a relationship where the ending felt inevitable but still heartbreaking, this episode will help you understand why that experience can be so difficult and how to navigate the healing process.
