| Ep. 318 - What your ex took vs. what they left behind | 08 Dec 2025 | 00:17:33 | |
If it feels like your ex walked out with your entire life and took everything with them, this episode is the reality check your brain desperately needs. We're breaking down what your ex actually took (and the list is a lot shorter than you think) and exposing the invisible gains you can't see yet because heartbreak has you zoomed in on the loss. You'll learn why the space they left behind isn't a void, it's raw, open territory that's now available for your next chapter. And I'll walk you through two questions and one action step that will show you, in real time, why you didn't lose everything… you gained room to build something better. If you're stuck in the narrative that they "took your life," this episode will give you back the power you thought you lost.

| Ep. 187 - How long does it take to get over a breakup? | 08 May 2023 | 00:24:39 | |
Let's tackle one of the most common questions after a breakup: how long does it take to get over it? We'll explore why it's not about the length of the relationship or how long it's been since the breakup. People heal at different rates, and the process can vary depending on factors such as the level of attachment, what you're making the breakup mean about you, and individual coping mechanisms. We'll talk about why relying solely on time as a metric for healing can be misleading and frustrating. Instead, we'll offer practical tips and insights on what really helps in the healing process. After this episode you'll know exactly what to do to get over your breakup without it "taking time". Want to have tangible tools to apply today's episode to YOUR breakup?

| Ep. 186 - Overcoming "I don't matter" after a breakup or divorce | 01 May 2023 | 00:21:10 | |
*TRIGGER WARNING: contains talk of depression, hopelessness and suicidal thoughts." In this podcast episode, Breakup Coach Dorothy addresses the heavy topic of overcoming the belief of "I don't matter" after a breakup or divorce. She shares her personal journey and how this belief manifested for her after a miscarriage. Dorothy talks about the main issues with this belief pattern, such as a lack of awareness and the actions it can lead to, like hopelessness and suicidal ideation. She encourages listeners to wake up to the fact that they may have this belief and discusses how it can affect their lives, while providing actionable next steps to heal from this belief. Although it's a tough topic, Dorothy believes it's essential to have a discussion about it to help anyone who may be struggling with this same belief.

| Ep. 185 - You don't have to hold onto the suffering to validate that it happened | 24 Apr 2023 | 00:19:16 | |
In this episode, we explore the idea that we don't have to feel terrible to prove to ourselves that someone treated us poorly. Often, we may feel like we need to be in a constant state of misery to justify making a change or taking action in our lives. But in reality, this mindset can actually hold us back from making positive changes and moving forward. Through personal stories and reflections, we discuss how negative emotions can keep us stuck in a cycle of inaction, and how shifting our mindset can lead to more productive and empowering outcomes. We also offer specific steps that listeners can take to start breaking free from this cycle and move towards a more fulfilling and happy life. If you're tired of feeling like you have to prove your pain to yourself or others, and are ready to start taking action towards mental and emotional freedom, this episode is for you. | |||
| Ep. 184 - When you slip up in your breakup | 17 Apr 2023 | 00:19:28 | |
That moment you've called your ex and reopened a can of worms you said you'd never get into again. Or the moment you called him 50 times with no response.

| Ep. 183 - 3 reasons it's important to prioritize getting over your ex | 10 Apr 2023 | 00:23:50 | |
Getting over an ex doesn't "just happen". Specific steps are taken consciously or unconsciously that get us over an ex. The interesting thing is that getting over a breakup or divorce is not seen by society as "important" like grieving a death but there are so many components that are the same.

| Ep. 305 - How to find yourself again after a breakup | 08 Sep 2025 | 00:21:19 | |
After a breakup, one of the most common (and painful) questions I hear is: "Who am I without them?" If you don't know who you are apart from your ex, you can't clearly see what you want, what's possible, or how to build a life that's truly yours. Instead, you risk creating a life that's just a reaction to the breakup, or worse, one that keeps you tied to the person who left. In this episode, I'm sharing the exact process I use with my clients to help them uncover who they are without their ex. Inside, you'll learn why knowing yourself is the foundation for not wanting your ex, how it changes the way you date (or don't), and why it's the only way to create a bigger and better life that feels authentic instead of accidental. You'll walk away with a framework, five activation codes, that will help you finally shift from obsessing over them to becoming obsessed with your own life.
