Do you really need to get under someone to get over someone? It’s a question that often comes up after separation or divorce, and in this episode, I talk with Clinical Psychology Registrar – Psychologist Ben Schiller to explore if there is any truth behind it.

We discuss the emotional pull of rebound sex and new relationships, why it’s so tempting to dive straight into something (or someone) new, and whether that really helps ease the loneliness and grief that can follow a breakup. Is it a distraction or does it help you heal? And how understanding our own emotional patterns can make all the difference. It's a BIG conversation with great insights.

Can happiness and divorce exist in the same sentence?

If you’ve ever felt like your life was supposed to follow a certain script, find the one, live happily ever after, then this episode is for you. But what happens when that story falls apart? Are we destined to be unhappy, or is there another way?

I’m joined by Stephanie Harrison, author of New Happy: Getting Happiness Right in a World That’s Got It Wrong. Stephanie offers a fresh perspective on happiness, breaking down the outdated myths we’ve been sold, what she calls Old Happy and showing us how to create a New Happy, even in the wake of divorce.

This episode will challenge the way you think about happiness, success, and starting over. If you’re navigating the grief, guilt, or loneliness that often comes with separation, Stephanie’s insights will help you reframe your experience and find hope in the possibility of a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Divorce is one of the hardest things you’ll ever go through. The loss, the uncertainty, the fear of what’s next, it can feel overwhelming. But what if this was also an opportunity to rediscover yourself?

In this episode, I’m joined by Jillian Turecki, Certified Relationship Coach, Teacher, Author, and Host of the Podcast, Jillian On Love. We have a raw and honest conversation about what it really takes to heal after a breakup, why self-acceptance is more important than self-love, and how to rebuild trust, both in yourself and in future relationships.

Jillian also shares insights from her new book, It Begins With You: The 9 Hard Truths About Love That Will Change Your Life, and we dive into the lessons we’ve learned from our own breakups, the moments that made us question everything, and the unexpected freedom that comes when you finally let go.

If you’re struggling to make sense of your divorce or separation, feeling stuck in the heartbreak, or wondering how you’ll ever move forward, this episode is for you.

• The first thing you need to do after a breakup;
• How to stop second-guessing yourself and start trusting your decisions;
• Why choosing yourself doesn’t mean disregarding others;
• The truth about financial independence and why it matters in relationships;
• How to embrace freedom after divorce instead of fearing it;
• What a healthy relationship actually looks like;
• Why heartbreak makes us feel crazy and how to manage those emotions.

This is one of those conversations that will stay with you.
