Going through a breakup? This episode is for you.

Whether you're the dumper or dumpee, breakups SUCK. You feel confused, devastated, lost, angry and so many emotions all at the same time. You often lose your sense of self-confidence and direction and it can take a long time to get back on your feet.

In this episode, I sit down with my amazing friend, Brooke Ryan. Someone who I have seen navigate a devastating breakup SO beautifully. She opens up about what happened between her and her ex, things she did post-breakup that helped (and things that didn't, none of us are perfect!), how to re-build your self confidence, daily habits to help you get out of the post-breakup depression and so much more.

I also share my personal experience of going through a breakup this year, so if you are in the same boat, we completely get you and know how difficult this process can be.
