The Breakup Episode: Heartache, Grief & Coping with Separation with Adrienne Everheart


Listen Later

Breakups can shake your world; emotionally, mentally, and even physically.

In the final episode of our romantic relationships mini-series, we’re diving into the pain of separation, the grief that follows, and how to take care of your mental health in the aftermath of heartbreak.

When it comes to our mental wellbeing, the ending of a relationship or the loss of someone we love can leave a profound impact. Going through a breakup often brings a wave of intense emotional pain, sometimes even physical pain,  that can leave us feeling vulnerable, deflated, anxious, and stuck on repeat. The mind races with memories, what-ifs, and alternate outcomes, as we struggle to come to terms with someone no longer being part of our life.

Feeling sadness, loneliness, low self-esteem, and a loss of motivation is completely normal during heartbreak. But if we isolate ourselves or get consumed by these feelings for too long, there’s a risk of falling into deeper mental health struggles, such as anxiety disorders or depression.

To help us make sense of this emotional rollercoaster, host Gabby Sanderson is joined by certified dating and relationship coach Adrienne Everheart. Adrienne is a feminine energy therapist, bestselling author of '500 Ways to Talk to a Man', and the creator of the “ABCs to Get Him Back” program. She’s helped countless women heal after heartbreak, rebuild their confidence, and move forward from relationships that were no longer serving them.

In this powerful conversation, Adrienne shares insight into why, after a breakup, people often obsess over what could have been, rather than what actually was. She explains how the grieving process is deeply personal, with no one-size-fits-all timeline for healing, and offers advice on navigating tricky dynamics with mutual friends when a breakup disrupts the social circle.

The episode also delves into the psychological science behind breakups, depression, and grief and how they can trigger deep wounds to come to the surface, such as abandonment issues. Adrienne highlights why every relationship carries valuable lessons and provides practical guidance on rebuilding self-worth, restoring confidence, and opening the heart again to call in the kind of love that truly aligns.

Whether you are moving on or holding onto hope, this episode offers support, perspective, and reassurance that healing is possible, no matter how deep the hurt.
