Summary

It’s time to talk about… BREAKUPS. Heartbreak, codependency, situationships, spirals - Florence is coming to you solo this week and sitting down with her incredible friend, author, and podcast queen Kelsey Darragh (Confidently Insecure) to unpack the brutal, beautiful chaos of breakups. From sobbing through situationships to sexually addictive rebounds and emotional rock bottoms, Kelsey shares the raw reality of what happens when love crashes and burns - and how she turned her own heartbreak into a science-backed, self-loving healing journey. They dive deep into co-dependency, the power of narrative, breakup bootcamps, why we chase emotional chaos, and how to stop choosing partners who can’t (or won’t) show up. Plus, there’s chat about fertility, freezing eggs, terminating pregnancies, and the surprising turns life takes after healing heartbreak. This is one for anyone who’s ever been dumped, devastated, or just trying to piece themselves back together. Whether you're fresh out of a situationship or still haunted by a breakup from years ago — this one's for you, curious f**kers.

0:16.0	Well, curious fuckers, I'm here by myself because this is my first solo episode. And yeah, it's pretty
0:27.3	odd right now, not having read here, but I'm so excited for the exploration that we're going
0:34.1	to be able to do on this new series. So in my solo series, I am going to be
0:39.5	focusing on topics that I hold really near and dear to my heart. I'm going to be talking a lot
0:45.6	about fertility, the miscarriage that I went through, and parenting and preparing for that next stage
0:53.2	of my life. I'm going to get guests in where I can
0:56.0	really learn a lot about that and I'm so excited about some of the guests that I have lined up
1:02.2	already for you. I think we're going to learn a lot in this series. I really, really do and I really
1:06.9	hope that I can reach people that are also at a similar stage in their life to me,
1:11.9	who are maybe trying to conceive, they're pregnant, their parents, and they're also super
1:18.9	interested in their relationship with their body, sex and their connection with their
1:22.8	partner, because I want to help you deepen that connection to yourself and your partner and hopefully
1:29.4	maybe your children as well. But don't worry, it's still going to be sexy, it's still going to be
1:34.0	raunchy, and it's still going to have all of the come curious traits that you love. So in today's
1:40.8	episode, I am meeting up with one of my dearest friends, Kelsey Derra, who I actually
1:46.4	moved in with when I first moved out to LA almost three years ago at this point, which is wild.
1:54.8	So Kelsey Derr is a ex-BuzzFeed celebrity.
1:59.5	She's a close friend of mine, and she is the host of the confidently
