Do I Actually Like Them… or Do I Just Want Them to Want Me?

from The Break-Up Diet

It’s the first episode of the year — and the first solo episode of The Break-Up Diet.No co-host, no script, and way too much pressure… until I realised that’s kind of the whole problem.In this episode, I’m talking about letting go of the January “glow-up” pressure, navigating a new era of the podcast alone, and why you don’t need to have your entire life figured out just because it’s a new year. After a year full of breakups — romantic and work — I’m reflecting on what I’ve learned, what I ignored, and how I’m approaching this next chapter differently.We get into:Why January can feel lonely (and why you’re not broken for feeling it)The difference between actually liking someone vs. just wanting to be chosenSituationship red flags you should not be entertaining this early in the yearHow to do a “reset” without burning yourself outSimple tools to figure out what areas of your life actually need attentionMy non-negotiable rules for a glow-up that’s about standards, not aestheticsThis isn’t a “new year, new me” episode.It’s a new year, less bullshit episode.Whether you’re fresh out of a breakup, questioning your dating patterns, or just trying to breathe your way into the year — this one’s for you.Happy New Year 🤍 Hosted on Acast.
