Coming Up for Air

What if you never fully get over your ex?
Maybe it's been months or years since the breakup. You're doing better, you've rebuilt parts of your life, but you still think about them, still miss them sometimes and wonder whether you'll ever completely move on.
In this episode, I'm talking about why we can carry an ex with us long after a relationship ends, the fear of never loving someone the same way again and whether getting over someone really has to mean forgetting them.
Because maybe moving on after heartbreak isn't making someone who once meant everything mean nothing. Maybe it's being able to remember them without needing to go backwards. 🤍

Will my ex come back? It’s one of the hardest questions to stop asking after a breakup especially when you were the one who was left.
But there’s another stage of heartbreak nobody really prepares you for: the moment you realise they might actually never come back.
In this episode I talk about why losing hope can feel like a second breakup, why you can still want your ex to come back even when you know the relationship wasn’t right, and what happens when 'they haven’t come back yet' slowly becomes 'maybe this really is over.'
We’ll get into waiting for an ex to change their mind, struggling to let go, dealing with rejection, wondering whether they regret leaving, and how to move forward without forcing yourself to believe you’ll never hear from them again.
Because healing after a breakup isn’t about knowing for certain that your ex will never come back. It’s reaching the point where your life no longer depends on finding out whether they will.

You've stopped speaking to them, so why are you still having entire conversations with them in your head?
In this episode, I talk about why we mentally talk to an ex after a breakup, replay conversations, imagine telling them things and wonder what they'd think of the life we're building without them.
We get into wanting recognition rather than reconciliation, missing being witnessed by someone who knew your whole life, and what these imaginary conversations might actually be doing for you.
If you're struggling to stop thinking about your ex and wondering whether you'll ever fully move on, this one's for you.

If you’re single and scared you’ll never find love, I want you to imagine something: your future relationship is already secured.
You don’t know who they are. You don’t know when you’ll meet. You just know you cannot miss them.
How would you live differently if you weren’t constantly wondering when love was going to happen?
In this episode, I am talking about being single in your 30s, dating anxiety, the fear of being alone, finding love later in life and the experiences we sometimes postpone until we have a partner.
Then I’m changing the hypothetical completely: what if I told you that you wouldn’t meet them for another five years?
Because this isn’t really an episode about how to find a relationship. It’s about what you might do with your life if you stopped requiring certainty about your romantic future before allowing yourself to fully live your present.

If you’re single and quietly wondering whether you’re doing this stage of life 'right,' this episode is for you.
There’s so much pressure to make single life look incredible the travelling, the career, the solo dates, the full social calendar, the constant proof that you’re thriving. But maybe your life doesn’t need to impress anyone. Maybe it just needs to feel like yours.
In this episode, we talk about feeling behind while other people get married and have children, the fear of being single forever, loneliness, changing friendships, creating your own milestones and the ways we accidentally put life on hold while waiting to meet someone.
This isn’t about convincing yourself that you don’t want love. You’re allowed to want a relationship and still build a life that feels meaningful now.
Because your single years aren’t the waiting room for your real life.
