Summary

In today's episode of the Heal Your Heartbreak Podcast I’m tackling something we all deal with after a breakup but don’t always talk about—those "aftershocks" that hit us out of nowhere. You know, like when you see your ex’s car pass by or a song comes on that suddenly takes you back. This idea clicked for me after chatting with Suzy Hopkins and Hallie Bateman and hearing from some of you who are dealing with these feelings too. I’m here to break down why these little triggers happen and, more importantly, how we can handle them without losing our balance. I want to make sure you know you’re not alone, and these moments are just part of the healing rollercoaster.

1:43.6	Hallie Bateman on the show
1:45.3	talking about their book, what to do when you get dumped. And one of the concepts, if you listen to
1:50.2	that episode that Susie talks about is this concept of aftershocks after the breakup. And it really
1:55.6	struck me because, you know, when there's that thing where you know it exists for a long period of time and then you hear a term for it and you're like, oh, I know exactly what that is.
