You're listening to hashtag no filter. I am zak Peter and this is the show that I host every

week and if you listen every week you should know that by now. We've all been

there heartbreak motel with a bottle of vodka, some dark chocolate, and a

pine of non-dary ice cream. Oh wait, maybe that's just me. But let me tell you, the combo is great, and I just want to announce that I am back and open for business.

Figuratively that is.

I had a tender date last night. It went kind of interesting, but it was my first official sign that I am, I am back and I am ready to tackle it.

And I'm really excited because today I have a lovely lady.

She's a love expert based out of Boston that wrote the book on breaking up and

balancing back. Literally she just finished it and it'll be coming out very soon. She's the guru behind love successfully.com and she's going to be giving us the do's

and don'ts of dating and breaking up. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Samantha Burns. Hi,

Sam. Hi, Zach, I love that. Thanks so much for having me. I'm so excited to have you.

I feel like this is such a relatable topic and everybody's kind of been there at Heartbreak Motel

whether it was a breakup or kind of a letdown

Everybody's had their heartbroken and I feel like today we're really going to address it and make sense.

Yeah, that's that's I'm looking forward to it because it is such a universal topic and it's definitely affected us all and probably been in our weakest moments.

I know you were joking but I think we really have all been at that bottom of the Chunky Monkey Ice and container.

Yes, where we were like I'm just gonna have a Chunky Monkey Ice Cream container.

Yes, where we were like, I'm just gonna have a couple bites of ice cream

and then before you know it, it's all gone.

And I'm like, oh my God, what did I do?

Definitely. So Sam, what inspired you to write this new book, Breaking Up and Bouncing Back?

Sure, so I had gone through my own big breakup a few years ago and I've since done the dating game
