This episode is for anyone going through a breakup who feels like they don’t have a big sister to sit them down and tell them it’s going to be okay.

I don’t have a sister myself, but I’m incredibly lucky to have the most supportive friends and community of bossy gals around me. A lot of the things I share in this episode are things I learned through those conversations, through experience, and through sitting with the discomfort instead of running from it. I wanted to share this episode for anyone else who is going  through heartbreak feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, or alone.

In this solo episode of Reclaiming Bossy, I’m sharing my first-ever breakup,  Before I talk about how I’m working through the breakup now, I walk through the things that really helped me go into the difficult conversation with more regulation, clarity, and compassion. This isn’t about blame or revenge bodies or  glow-ups, or “bouncing back.” But on how to trust that everything will work out.

If you’re heartbroken, trying to hold it together, or quietly grieving the future you imagined, this episode is for you. You don’t have to do this alone. You can do it with me.

If you have a friend going through it right now send this episode to them as a digital hug.
