In today’s listener episode, I’m interviewing Marc, a man in his early 40s from the East Coast who is sharing the story of his recent breakup after an eight year relationship. Marc opens up about navigating an incredibly rare amicable breakup and what it really looks like to end things with kindness and respect—even when it’s still deeply painful. We talk about how the loss of his mom a year and a half before the breakup was a pivotal moment that changed his perspective on his relationship, and how his ex played a huge role in caring for his mother during that time. Marc shares the complexities of grieving alongside breaking up, the challenges of sharing a dog post-breakup, how family dynamics influenced his choices, and the importance of leaning on friends and community. This is such a powerful and honest look at what happens when “amicable” doesn’t mean “easy,” and what true healing looks like after so much loss.

Today I’m taking you solo through a topic that hits close to home—reclaiming the things that feel lost after a breakup. Whether it’s a favorite song, a restaurant, a hobby, or even an entire part of town, breakups often leave us avoiding things we used to love.

In this episode, I’m sharing stories from listeners and my own experience about what we feel our exes “took” from us, and how I learned to gently approach those triggers in my own healing process. I’ll walk you through figuring out what’s actually worth bringing back into your life, when you might be ready, and how to create new, empowering rituals around those things.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with forgiveness expert Dara McKinley. We’re tackling a topic that’s come up a lot in breakups but rarely gets broken down: how do you actually forgive?

Dara shares her personal story about searching for step-by-step advice on forgiveness and realizing that most resources only tell us why we "should" forgive—and not how. Together, we unpack common misconceptions, like thinking forgiveness means excusing someone’s behavior, and explore why it’s really about finding peace for yourself.

We touch on the importance of timing, self-forgiveness, and why forgiveness is a tool for your own healing, not something that lets anyone else off the hook. If you’re struggling with resentment after a breakup or are just feeling stuck, this episode is for you. And if you want to go deeper, Dara’s “How to Forgive” course is available now!

In this episode I'm finally diving into one of the most-requested topics: fertility and the realities of the biological clock, especially when you're going through a breakup. I’m joined by Dr. Lucky Sekhon, an incredible double board-certified fertility expert based in NYC, who breaks down everything from egg freezing and IVF to solo parenting and common misconceptions about age and fertility.

Dr. Lucky explains the latest advances in reproductive health, gives practical advice on choosing the right clinic, and shares how fertility preservation is helping people avoid settling for the wrong relationships just to have kids. Whether you’re navigating heartbreak or just anxious about your future family-building options, this conversation is hopeful, informative, and full of resources—including a sneak peek of Dr. Lucky’s upcoming book, "The Lucky Egg."

If you’re worried about your timeline or need reassurance about your path to parenthood, I know you’ll find this episode incredibly supportive and empowering.
