For anyone going through a breakup, or just anyone whose patterns around love and dating need rewiring, this episode is for you. Today's guest is the founder of Renew Breakup Bootcamp, a retreat that takes a scientific and spiritual approach to healing the heart. She is also the author of the instant bestseller Breakup Bootcamp: The Science of Rewiring Your Heart. Needless to say, she knows a thing or two about breakups and how to recover from them!

Amy shares the top 3 mistakes people make when going through a breakup, the chemical reason why reaching out to an ex for "closure" will only impede your healing, her thoughts on "The One", and why we're attracted to the wrong people in the first place. She provides great tips for healing and discovery, and we promise you'll leave this episode feeling more in control of your emotions (and actions!) than when you started listening. PS—Don't miss her "breakup" with Andy!

Amy has been writing about relationships, dating and love for over a decade. She's the Editor-in-Chief of Heart Hackers Club – an online magazine that focuses on the psychology behind love, lust and desire. Her work has been featured on Good Morning America, in Vogue, Glamour, Nightline and the front page of The New York Times.
