Summary
Breakups today aren’t just about letting go of a person — they’re about navigating texts, timelines, algorithmic reminders, and the pressure to "heal fast." Therapist and Lonely Hearts Club founder Lexi Joondeph-Breidbart joins Ilana to unpack what actually helps people move on, why we obsess over old messages, and how to know if it's time to unfollow, mute, or block your ex for good.

| 0:08.8 | Lexi June Def Bridebart. |
| 0:10.5 | Welcome to seeing other people. |
| 0:12.1 | Thank you so much. |
| 0:13.2 | Thank you for having me. |
| 0:14.7 | I will have you a million times over because what you do and what we're here to talk about today is so, so, so huge when it comes to dating |
| 0:23.5 | because you cannot, I mean, listen, once in a blue moon it happens, we all know someone who's |
| 0:30.6 | avoided heartbreak, but you can't really date and find love without getting your heartbroken, |
| 0:35.3 | or at least putting yourself in the position |
| 0:37.7 | to. And that's really scary. So thank you for everything that you do. You are a licensed |

| 1:23.2 | A lot of people plan X on a pedestal closure. What is it? Does it happen? Grieving the future. So many things. I've done |

| 1:49.2 | Yeah. |
| 1:49.8 | So in grad school, I had an internship and I ran support groups, not in heartbreak. |
