In today’s expert episode, I’m talking with Dr. Adi Jaffe, a nationally recognized expert on transformation and author of the book Unhooked. We dive deep into the connection between addiction and heartbreak, and how compulsive behaviors, whether they involve substances or patterns in love, keep us stuck after a breakup. Dr. Jaffe shares his personal story of overcoming addiction, explains concepts like the sphere of influence and fixed versus growth mindset, and offers practical tips for shifting your mindset and changing the behaviors that keep you feeling stuck. We also discuss common struggles after a breakup, like obsessing over things outside of our control and getting trapped in shame cycles, and how to use frameworks like SPARROW and self-compassion to move forward in healing. If you’re ready for actionable advice on how to heal your heart and break unhealthy cycles, this is the episode for you.

In today’s solo episode, I’m diving into one of the most common and painful post-breakup struggles: what to do when it seems like your ex is totally fine while you’re still hurting. I break down why seeing your ex “move on” can hit so hard, the spiral of self-doubt it can trigger, and why it’s so important to set boundaries with your friends and social media to protect your healing. I also explore some of the real reasons why your ex might look like they’re doing well—everything from unreliable social media snapshots to the way different people process pain and grief. If you find yourself comparing your healing journey to your ex’s or struggling with thoughts like “Did our relationship mean anything?”, this episode is for you.

In today’s expert episode, I’m interviewing Toni Filipone, founder of Master Grief and an expert in navigating grief and loss. We discuss her personal story of losing her partner to suicide after going through a brutal divorce, and how even with 30 years of personal development coaching experience, grief left her at a complete loss. We dive deep into why grief doesn’t follow predictable patterns, the reality of “early grief,” and how societal expectations around healing are often unrealistic. We also explore how breakups can bring a unique kind of compounded grief, why it’s common to grieve the loss of a future that never happened, and how to separate facts from the painful stories we tell ourselves. If you’ve ever felt stuck, guilty, or broken during heartbreak or loss, this episode will validate your feelings and offer a fresh, compassionate perspective on moving through grief.
