Summary

When a romantic relationship ends, for whatever the reason, we can find ourselves devastated. How can we pick up the pieces of a broken heart and move forward with our lives, when even getting up in the morning feels like an overwhelming challenge?

Our guest on this episode, Amy Chan, found herself jobless, homeless and single, all at once when a relationship with her boyfriend ended. Since then, she’s not only found a way to turn heartbreak into healing for herself, but for others as well. Amy founded a “breakup bootcamp” to help women heal themselves first and their hearts, second. And she’s now written a book called, Breakup Bootcamp: The Science of Rewiring Your Heart.

0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Laura Owens. And I'm Jan Black. When a romantic relationship ends, for whatever the reason, we can find ourselves completely devastated.
0:22.4	And I speak from personal experience. I think we all do, actually. How can we pick up the pieces
0:27.8	of a broken heart and move forward with our lives when even getting up in the morning feels like
0:33.3	an overwhelming challenge? Well, our guest on this episode, Amy Chan, found herself jobless,
0:39.7	homeless, and single all at once when a relationship with her boyfriend ended. Since then,
0:45.5	she's not only found a way to turn heartbreak into healing for herself, but for others as well.
0:51.5	Amy founded a breakup boot camp to help women heal themselves first and their
0:56.4	hearts second. And she's now written a book called Breakup Boot Camp, the science of rewiring your heart.
1:03.9	Amy, thank you so much for joining us. Thanks so much for having me. Tell us more about what you experienced with that devastating breakup.
1:13.7	Yeah. So about nine years ago, I was living in Vancouver and I thought I was living the dream.

1:41.2	when we had children, I would stay at home and I had my whole life and plan
1:46.5	set out. And the universe, I guess, had a different plan for me because one day, that
1:52.6	relationship fell apart due to infidelity. And I had lost my job a few months prior to that.
2:00.6	So there I was. I found myself without a home,
2:04.2	without a boyfriend, without this future plan that I had set my identity on. And when that
2:11.3	relationship fell apart, I completely fell apart. And then you took a leap of faith and decided to devote everything to that feeling
2:20.5	of a broken heart. And you started the world's first and only breakup boot camp. I imagine it must
2:27.1	have been really hard for you for your job also to be focused on trying to heal from this.
2:35.2	Yeah.
