Some people move on quickly after a breakup.

Others barely survive the silence.

In this episode I break down the pattern known as monkey-barring , when someone jumps from one relationship straight into another without ever sitting in the space between.

And why it can feel so personal when it happens to you.

Through a story from my own 7-year relationship, I explore the pattern of people who are always “in love,” the panic that can show up after a breakup, and what it really means when someone replaces connection with relief.

This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered:

Did they actually move on…

or were they just afraid to be alone?
