285: Your Breakup Doesn’t Have to Break You with Janice Formicella
Description
A breakup doesn't just end a relationship. Sometimes it changes your entire sense of who you are. The weekends feel empty. You miss the person, question your worth, and wonder how you're supposed to build a life that suddenly looks completely different.
In this episode, we talk with Janice Formichella, Breakup Coach and host of Breakup, Broken Hearts, and Moving On, about dealing with what happens after a breakup and why healing is about so much more than getting over your ex. She shares how “breakup brain” can affect our thoughts, routines, and emotions, and why we have more power over the healing process than we realize.
Together, we explore how to navigate the loneliness and empty space that comes after a relationship, what to do about maintaining contact, and how to rebuild your identity when so much of your life was built around someone else. Most importantly, we unpack how a breakup can become the beginning of a powerful new chapter when you choose to engage with your healing instead of simply waiting for time to 'heal.'
