If your ex is living rent-free in your head (and charging you emotional interest)… this episode is for you.
Whether the breakup was last week or years ago, if you’re stuck in rumination, craving contact, stalking socials, comparing everyone to them, or feeling like you’ve turned into a needy 5-year-old when you’re actually a grown, capable human… I’ve got you my love ❤️
Inside this episode, I break down the 5 biggest reasons it feels so hard to let go from an anxious attachment lens, and what to do so you can finally reclaim your peace.
➡️ “How to Let Go of Your Ex” FREE Masterclass (Jan 20th)
I’ll walk you through the exact framework I teach to help you start the detachment process so you can stop looping, stop internalising, and start rebuilding your secure self for real.
✨ Why you might still be “re-opening the wound” (even if you swear you’re fine) through contact, checking socials, keeping the chat thread, or staying close to their family
✨ How the dopamine breadcrumb loop keeps you addicted to tiny hits of attention… and then spiralling into shame
✨ What’s actually happening when your abandonment wound gets activated and why breakups can feel like survival-level panic
✨ Why “closure” can become a trap when things feel unfinished or confusing (especially after situationships and mixed messages)
✨ How to knock them off the pedestal without revenge spirals and come back to choosing yourself
✨ Why trying to “move on already” can backfire and how to stop rushing the grief
