In today’s solo episode, I’m diving into one of the most common and painful post-breakup struggles: what to do when it seems like your ex is totally fine while you’re still hurting. I break down why seeing your ex “move on” can hit so hard, the spiral of self-doubt it can trigger, and why it’s so important to set boundaries with your friends and social media to protect your healing. I also explore some of the real reasons why your ex might look like they’re doing well—everything from unreliable social media snapshots to the way different people process pain and grief. If you find yourself comparing your healing journey to your ex’s or struggling with thoughts like “Did our relationship mean anything?”, this episode is for you.
