If you've ever wondered why you still can't stop thinking about your ex, even when you know the relationship is over, this episode is for you. Sarah breaks down the neuroscience of heartbreak, explaining how your brain and nervous system become wired for familiarity—and why that can keep you stuck long after love has ended. You'll learn practical tools to interrupt old thought patterns, regulate your emotions, and begin creating a future that's no longer defined by your past. This episode will help you understand that you're not broken—your brain is simply doing what it was designed to do, and you can teach it a new way forward.

Can you deeply love someone and still not be right for each other? In this episode, Sarah explores the painful truth that love and compatibility are not the same thing, sharing her own breakup story to explain why even healthy, loving relationships can come to an end. She unpacks why grief isn't proof you lost "the one," how self-abandonment quietly erodes relationships, and why learning to feel your pain instead of avoiding it is the foundation of rebuilding self-trust. If you're struggling to let go because there was no villain or dramatic betrayal, this episode will help you find peace, honor the relationship for what it was, and move forward without losing yourself.

Everyone says time heals all wounds, no contact is the answer, and staying busy will help you move on—but what if those are the very things keeping you stuck? In this episode, Sarah breaks down the three biggest breakup myths and explains why healing isn't about waiting, avoiding, or distracting yourself. You'll learn what actually creates emotional freedom: processing your feelings, regulating your nervous system, detaching from the relationship, and rebuilding your identity. If you're tired of thinking about your ex months or years later, this episode will show you what real healing looks like.

What started as the end of a relationship led her to uncover a lifelong abandonment wound, explore how past experiences shape our relationships, and ultimately learn that healing isn't about getting someone else to stay—it's about learning not to abandon yourself.

In this episode of Breakup Pep Talks, Sarah sits down with glow-up coach Lindsay Stewart Jacoby to unpack how self-abandonment quietly steals women’s confidence, identity, and joy. Lindsay shares her own transformation from feeling invisible, disconnected, and resentful to becoming a woman who intentionally showed up for herself through small daily choices that created massive change over time. Together, they explore why so many women lose themselves in people-pleasing, motherhood, relationships, and over-functioning — and why true glow-ups begin internally long before they show up physically. The conversation is a powerful reminder that healing, confidence, boundaries, and self-worth are built through micro-decisions, uncomfortable growth, and finally putting yourself back at the top of your own list.
