If you’ve just been dumped, the pain can feel overwhelming and urgent. Most people react emotionally in the first few days by reaching out, trying to fix things, or searching for reassurance, but those reactions often make the situation worse.

In this episode, I explain what to do immediately after a breakup and why your initial response matters more than you realize. You’ll learn how to avoid the common mistakes that push an ex further away, why accepting the breakup is critical, and how giving space allows both you and your ex to process what’s happened.

This is not about giving up. It’s about handling this moment in a way that protects your dignity, your emotional stability, and your chances for a healthier future, whether that includes reconciliation or not.

If you’re feeling the urge to act right now, slow down and listen first. The way you handle the beginning of a breakup can shape everything that follows.
