Devin Allen is the co-founder of d.i.y.BreakUp. You heard that right! Do it yourself breakup. In this episode of Leading With Your Gut, Devin shares an emotional and volatile story of the relationship she had with her ex-fiancé. He cheated, he lied, he was emotionally abusive, and manipulative. Yet Devin was on track to marry him. She knew in her gut that things were wrong, but it was hard to face her intuition. Why? 

Like many women, Devin felt the societal pressure to find a man, hunker down, and get married quickly. Luckily, Devin caught her fiancé in a lie and was able to get out of the relationship prior to their wedding. 

After Devin called off the relationship, the loneliness kicked it. She didn’t have many people to connect with about her breakup and she didn’t know any resources that could help her recoup the cost of the wedding. Devin’s experience motivated her and friend Jessica Heilweil to create an online community that offers connection, tips, and advice for called off engagements. And just like that DIYBreakUP was up and running! 

After listening to Devin’s story, please download Part 2 with co-founder Jessica Heilweil. Jessica’s story is the polar opposite of Devin’s however, the inspiration around d.i.yBreakUP is the same.
