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.

Loneliness after a divorce or separation can send you into a spiral of overwhelm.

In this episode, I explore what loneliness really means, why it feels so intense after a relationship ends, and most importantly, how to start reconnecting with the world around you and with yourself.

Whether you’re feeling isolated or simply curious about how to move forward, this episode is packed with insights and practical tips to help you rebuild meaningful connections and rediscover fulfillment.
