AI Rewrote Her Breakup It Changed Everything! | Author Liv Maddux

Lex sits down with author Liv Maddux (aka Lizzie) a tech exec and debuting author, to discuss her book Eight Days in a World Apart. The book was born of a deeply personal long-distance relationship that ultimately came to an end. Liv, a techie at heart, looked to AI to help her examine 500+ pages of WhatsApp messages. The episode explores how Liv used this process to re-examine the relationship, reconnect with herself, and find healing through creativity.Liv talks openly about authenticity, rejection, and emotional growth. She shares how AI surfaced patterns she hadn’t noticed, how she faced her own self-criticism, and how she decided to show up more grounded and aligned with her values. She also reflects on how being authentic has cost her relationships, but led to deeper self-connection and stronger bonds with people who accept her fully.If you've ever struggled with letting go, faced heartbreak, or felt the fear of showing up as your full self, this conversation will hit home. It's vulnerable, insightful, and filled with real talk about what it means to own your story.Find Liv: Instagram: @ms.olivia.madduxBook: Eight Days in a World Apart available on Amazon https://a.co/d/irowTmuFollow Lex: @the_lexrosa (IG)Follow the BQN Network: @BQNPodcasts (IG/Bluesky)Join FB: The BQN Collective Join Discord: / discord BQN Podcasts are made possible by the generous contributions of listeners like you.
