Summary

Jillian dives into heartbreak—the kind that feels endless—and explains why “just move on” misses the mark. She reframes breakups as a form of living grief and walks listeners through a practical healing plan: stop romanticizing the ex, rewrite the story from multiple perspectives, and choose proactive recovery. With personal examples and grounded tools, Jillian shows how to transform rejection into redirection, rebuild self-worth, and let go without losing yourself.

0:00.0	Welcome back to Jillian on Love.
0:07.9	Today I'm going to talk about heartbreak and how to recover from even just the worst kind of heartbreak,
0:17.2	the kind where you feel stuck in pain, or you feel stuck in anger, and you just
0:22.6	have such a hard time moving on.
0:25.6	The first thing that I will say is that we do not talk enough about how hard it is to grieve
0:32.6	someone who is still alive. We don't talk enough about grief in general, but when we do, we
0:39.2	specifically talk about losing a loved one when someone has passed away. But a relationship
0:46.0	ending is a death and it's more than anything else. It's a death of a dream and it's a death of a life
0:53.5	that you thought that you were going to lead. It's a death of a dream and it's a death of a life that you thought that you were going to
0:55.3	lead. It's a death of a blueprint that you had, of the life that you wanted. And so to then have to
1:04.8	adapt to a new reality without this person, even if you know logically that it's the wrong relationship,
1:14.1	even if you were the one who left, and particularly if you were the one who was left,
1:19.7	having to face life in this new reality is incredibly jarring. And going no contact is painful. We do not talk enough about how hard it is
1:32.9	to go from sharing your life with someone to not even speaking to them anymore. And we have to stop
1:39.8	telling people to just move on. Moving on is not that simple.
1:45.6	We are wired for connection.
1:47.3	We are wired for attachment.
1:53.8	So if you are having a really difficult time moving on, you are not weak. You are having a profoundly human experience.
1:58.7	And you are experiencing withdrawal because it is a type of withdrawal.
2:04.9	And we don't want to get ourselves in a scenario where a year goes by or more and we are just
2:14.1	stuck on this person or stuck on this relationship and not actually
2:20.2	embracing the privilege of moving on and living our lives the fullest again. So if you are
