Many times we look to our external observations to determine and dictate our internal beliefs of ourselves. That's why it's so hard not to take a breakup or the ending of a relationship so personally. We look to that relationship as a part of our identity.  We then use the breakup, the words and actions of our ex to inform what we should believe about ourselves.  And my Bravehearts, we are doing i...

When getting over an ex there are a lot of commonalities I see between my clients. There are themed thought patterns which lead to a lot of the same feelings and behaviors. I've seen and experienced a number of events that were planned and unplanned like running into an ex at the store or at a party. Seeing an ex with a new girl for the first time. Seeing something triggering on social media. The...

Many Bravehearts come to me saying "I should have seen it coming". And my answer is the same every single time.  No, you weren't. You were never supposed to see it coming. Maybe you'll see it coming next time. But this time, it went exactly as it was supposed to. No one goes into a relationship expecting it to end. Telling yourself "I should have seen the red flags" or "I missed something" only ke...

It's not just about getting over him. It's about creating a life better than the one you had with him. Maybe even creating a life your ex regrets leaving. Because when you build that beautiful epic amazing life, it doesn't even matter to you if he regrets it. That, my Braveheart, is priceless.

For so long I just wanted to feel "taken care of" in my life. After my 7 year relationship ended, the last thing I felt was "taken care of" … by the universe/God, by others or even by myself. Pretty much I was certain that I was forgotten. Security and stability felt like a long-gone notion that was something I'd never be given.  In today's episode learn how to go from feeling forgotten to fully s...

Getting over your ex is a decision AND a process. Many times my bravehearts think that just because they made the decision to get over their ex that means they will never experience emotion around their ex ever again. Then when they do experience emotions around their ex (from certain triggers like when their ex starts to see someone new or when they see a text from their ex) they think they are "...

The last thing I wanted to do after my ex broke up with me, taking the life I had envisioned with him and handing it over to his new girlfriend was to "surrender". In my mind "surrendering" meant to give up control. Again, the last thing I wanted to do was give up what little control I had left in that situation.  Little did I know that "surrendering" really meant taking back my control and allowi...

The problem is, when you're busy asking the wrong questions you never solve for the right questions that actually...
