Ep. 8 - 1st phase to getting over your ex in 90 days

As an expert at breakups, I see two forms of regret after a breakup occurs. The first kind is regret about how you behaved during the relationship, especially after you’ve learned everything I’ve taught you in the podcast. The second kind is regret about your decision to leave the relationship (if you’re the one who left). In today’s episode, I talk about how regret can be useful and how it can also (and more oftentimes) be used as punishment. I of course will finish up the episode giving you tangible next steps towards letting go of regret and using it as a tool in your future!

Loving yourself is not the equivalent of self-care. We can take all the actions in the world and do self-care routines but if we don’t change our brains we don’t change the feelings. Instead, you might find yourself forcing the self-care routines vs letting them come to you naturally and organically. Two of my clients recently mentioned that “dating someone will have to be better than what it’s like to hang out with myself” and getting to the place where you are so obsessed with you than any other relationship has some serious competition to your relationship with yourself is where you’re headed with true “loving yourself”.   In this episode: What does it mean to love yourself How do I know if I’m actually loving myself vs just doing the self-care actions 3 simple steps to loving yourself during your breakup

What he’s saying about you doesn’t have to be your truth. Just because he says "You don't make me a priority" "You're crazy, you need to stop acting like I'm the problem, you're the problem" "You're a hypocrite" "You were the one that messed up" "You're just seeking attention" -- doesn’t mean it’s your reality. Nor does it mean you need to convince him otherwise.    In this episode: Learn how to let him have his own thoughts about you without it affecting YOU Identify your true identity How to not let your past dictate your present or future Productive disagreement
