Episode Details

On this episode of Up+Adam, we’re joined by John Kim, a best-selling author, licensed therapist, and the voice behind The Angry Therapist. We originally had this interview scheduled weeks ago, but the day before our conversation, we got the devastating news that John’s house had burned down in the Eaton Fire. In today’s episode, John shares his reflections on that life-changing event and the raw, emotional journey of starting over.

But the heart of our conversation is about his latest book, Break Up On Purpose. In it, John challenges the conventional view of breakups, reframing them as opportunities to rediscover yourself, redefine your life, and emerge stronger than before. Whether you’re navigating the end of a relationship, rethinking love, or simply curious about how to grow through life’s toughest moments, this episode is full of actionable insights and heartfelt wisdom.
