In this episode, I chat with Sabrina Zohar, host of the Sabrina Zohar podcast, about why we take breakups so personally and how to shift that mindset. Sabrina shares her journey from difficult relationships and anxiety to creating content that helps others navigate dating and relationships. We dive deep into why rejection hurts so badly from both a psychological and neurological perspective, discussing how our core beliefs and narratives shape our response to breakups. We explore the importance of no contact, why grieving is essential, and why seeing an ex move on with someone else isn't the personal rejection it often feels like. Sabrina offers valuable insights about how what's meant for us won't pass us by and why taking things less personally opens us up to better relationships.

In this episode of Heal Your Heartbreak, I sit down with Suzy Hopkins and Hallie Bateman, marking the first time we've had a mother-daughter duo on the show. They join me to discuss their newly released book, "What to Do When You Get Dumped: A Guide to Unbreaking Your Heart." Suzy shares her personal journey of healing after the sudden end to her 30-year marriage, and how it inspired this candid exploration of the messy, unpredictable, and often lengthy path to recovery after a breakup. Throughout our conversation, Suzy and Hallie provide insights into how writing served as a therapeutic tool for processing grief, the concept of the "muddle" during a breakup's aftermath, and the importance of embracing both the messiness and the small steps that lead to healing. We delve into themes of shame and self-compassion, and they share pivotal moments that marked their journey towards new beginnings. Join us as we explore the profound and relatable aspects of heartache and the resilience required to emerge stronger on the other side.To find out which Break Up Bestie Course is right for you, click the link to take the quiz and get matched with the best solution for you: https://breakupbestie.typeform.com/to/x0WglwDOTo get my course bundle Heal Your Break Up, go to https://www.breakupbestie.com/heal-your-break-up-course and use the code PODCAST for $25 off!To learn about all of my courses: https://www.breakupbestie.com/coursesTo join Healing Hearts Club for FREE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1021288124899873Get a copy of The Breakup Workbook here!Our Sponsors:* Check out Acorns: https://acorns.com/HEARTBREAK* Check out Acorns: https://acorns.com/HEARTBREAK* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code HEARTBREAK for a great deal: https://happymammoth.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
