The Break-Up Diet

Why are we always SO much harder on ourselves when we’re already struggling? 🥲This week I’m joined by Sophie Bertrand to talk about what actually happens when you stop showing up for yourself — and why the way you speak to yourself might matter more than you realise.Sophie opens up about going through one of the hardest periods of her life after having her first son, struggling with her mental health, and the huge difference she noticed when she started changing the way she spoke to herself. We talk about that horrible little voice in your head telling you “I can’t do this”, and what can happen when you start replacing it with “I CAN do this.”We also get into food and wellness because, honestly, there is SO much conflicting advice online. Eat this. Don’t eat that. Do this workout. Avoid that ingredient. Sophie explains why two people can eat and exercise in exactly the same way and still feel completely different — and why constantly trying to do everything “right” can make you stop listening to yourself.And obviously, we had to bring it back to heartbreak. ❤️‍🩹Because when you’re going through a breakup or just a really shiiiiit period of your life, taking care of yourself can be the first thing to disappear. Maybe you’re barely eating. Maybe you’re eating everything. Maybe you can’t be bothered to shower, get dressed or do any of the little things that normally make you feel like you.Sophie explains why sometimes, without even realising it, we start punishing ourselves when we’re already going through enough — and why showing up for yourself in the smallest ways can make such a difference.We also chat about Sophie’s journey creating Serene, her clean, non-toxic fragrance ritual designed to help you pause, breathe and return to yourself, which launches this October. Sophie takes us behind the scenes of actually building the brand — from coming up with the idea to developing the product, dealing with delays and learning that sometimes you have to stop obsessing over the entire plan and just take the next step.If you’ve been feeling a bit lost, overwhelmed, heartbroken, burnt out, or you’ve just realised you haven’t been taking very good care of yourself lately... this episode is your reminder to stop being so HARD on yourself. 🤍 Hosted on Acast.

Does anyone else feel like they were supposed to have their life together by now... because SAME. 🙃I’m 26 and for some reason I genuinely thought that by this age I’d have everything a little more figured out. A steady career, maybe a boyfriend, a clear plan for what I actually want to do with my life... meanwhile I currently have about 500 different ideas and absolutely no idea which one I’m supposed to choose. 😂In this solo episode, we’re talking about that horrible feeling of being “behind” in your 20s. Watching people around you get engaged, have babies, move countries, buy houses, smash their careers and seemingly know exactly where their life is going... while you’re sitting there wondering if you’re even on the right path.I’m sharing all the things currently going around in my head — wanting to move to New York, grow the podcast, buy a property, do my Pilates instructor course, start a fashion brand... basically wanting to do EVERYTHING and then getting so overwhelmed by all the options that I end up questioning all of them.We also get into comparison, procrastination disguised as “research”, being scared of wasting time or money, caring way too much about what other people think, and why sometimes you just need to give the idea you can’t stop thinking about a go.Because maybe the problem isn’t that you don’t have your life figured out. Maybe you’re putting way too much pressure on yourself to know what the next 10 years are supposed to look like.So instead of asking yourself “What am I going to do with my life?” maybe there’s a much easier question:“What do I want to do next?”If you’re in your 20s, feeling behind, changing your mind every five minutes or watching everyone else’s lives and wondering what you’re doing with yours... this episode is for you. 🤍 Hosted on Acast.

If you’re still waiting for an apology, closure, or one last conversation with the person who hurt you... you NEED to hear this one. ❤️‍🩹This week I’m joined by bestselling author Najwa Zebian, and honestly, this conversation completely changed the way I think about healing after someone breaks your heart.We talk about why we stay in relationships we know aren’t right for us, the difference between a rough patch and an actual deal breaker, and why we can become so obsessed with trying to “fix” something that is only hurting us more. Najwa also explains why leaving can feel SO scary, even when deep down you know it’s what you need to do.And obviously, we had to talk about closure. Why do we convince ourselves we need one last conversation? Why do we want them to finally understand how badly they hurt us? And would getting the apology we’ve been waiting for actually make us feel any better? Because sometimes the closure you’re desperately trying to get from them is something you have to give yourself.We also get into toxic relationships, ignoring your intuition, giving someone one too many chances, the post-breakup “glow up”, and Najwa’s Never Again List — aka deciding what you will NEVER accept from someone again.This genuinely felt like one big therapy session and there were sooo many moments where I was thinking, okay... I needed to hear that.If you’re struggling to let someone go, still waiting for them to give you the closure you deserve, or wondering why you keep going back to someone who has already shown you who they are... this episode is for you.Because the one who broke you can’t be the person you rely on to heal you. 🤍And make sure you check out Najwa’s new book, The One Who Broke You Can’t Heal You, out August 25th. If you’re going through heartbreak or trying to heal from someone who hurt you, this book is basically made for you. ❤️‍🩹Pre-order / learn more about Najwa’s book here:The One Who Broke You Can’t Heal You — Najwa Zebian Hosted on Acast.

One minute you have a huge group of friends, you’re doing everything together and genuinely can’t imagine not having them in your life... then suddenly you’re 26 wondering how you went from being inseparable to barely speaking. And sometimes, there wasn’t even a big falling out. You just grew up, changed and realised the friendship doesn’t fit anymore. In this solo episode, I’m having a proper chat about friendships in your 20s — the good ones, the one-sided ones and the ones we probably hold onto for wayyyy longer than we should just because we have history. I’m getting into friendship red flags, jealousy disguised as “jokes”, backhanded compliments, friends who only show up when it suits them and that horrible realisation that you might be putting way more into a friendship than you’re getting back. I also talk about my own experiences with losing friends, why friendship breakups can genuinely hurt just as much as relationship breakups, and learning that having a smaller circle as you get older really isn’t a bad thing. Sometimes quality over quantity is the biggest glow-up of all. Basically, if you’ve been questioning a friendship, feel like you’ve outgrown someone, or you’re grieving a friend you genuinely thought would be in your life forever... grab a coffee (or a wine lol) and come have a debrief with me. 🤍Because having history with someone doesn’t mean they automatically deserve a place in your future.

Girls... this one is MESSY. 👀This week, Josefin Eklund is back on The Break-Up Diet and she's spilling the full story of how she found out she was being cheated on. Honestly, by the end of this episode we were both convinced every girl turns into a part-time FBI agent when her gut is telling her something isn't right. 😂We're talking Instagram stalking, zooming into hotel bathroom photos, recognising toothbrushes and hairbrushes, piecing together a million tiny clues, and that awful feeling of desperately wanting to believe someone... even when deep down you already know the truth.We also get into the big questions: Why do people cheat? Can someone who cheats actually change? Can you ever trust someone again after betrayal? And at what point do you stop looking for more proof and finally trust your gut?This episode honestly felt like one big girl debrief. We've both been through heartbreak, we've both ignored red flags, and there are definitely moments in this conversation where you'll either be laughing... or sitting there thinking, "Yep... I've done that too."If you've ever had that horrible gut feeling, found yourself overanalysing every little thing, or desperately hoped you were wrong because the truth hurt too much... this one's for you. 🤍 Hosted on Acast.

Ever found yourself lying in bed thinking, "Why am I still single?" 😅Because same.This week, I'm joined by elite dating and men's lifestyle strategist Johnny Cassell, and let's just say... he had me questioning EVERYTHING I thought I knew about dating.We get into why so many people keep attracting the wrong partners, whether dating apps are actually ruining your love life (or if we're just blaming them 👀), why confidence beats looks every single time, and the habits that might be quietly holding you back without you even realising it.I loved this conversation because it isn't about playing games or pretending to be someone you're not. It's about understanding what actually attracts people, why some dating advice is complete rubbish, and how a few small mindset shifts could completely change your dating life.Whether you're fresh out of a breakup, sick of situationships, or just wondering why everyone else seems to have found their person... this episode is going to make you think.And honestly? You might finish it looking at your own dating life in a completely different way.Go and make yourself a coffee, stick your headphones in, and let's get into it. 💛 Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever been heartbroken over someone who was never actually your boyfriend? Yeah... same.This week, Jemima Rhys is back on The Break-Up Diet and we're talking about the situationships that leave you questioning your sanity. You know the ones... they text you every day, meet your friends and family, make future plans with you, act like your boyfriend... and then somehow you're still "nothing."We're sharing our own situationship stories, the guys who gave us just enough to keep us hoping, and why those breakups can hurt even more than losing an actual relationship. We also get into the conversation every girl dreads—"What are we?"—and why asking that question can tell you everything you need to know.If you've ever found yourself overthinking every text, wondering if you were asking for too much, or hoping that if you just waited a little longer he'd finally choose you... this episode is for you.Because the right person will never leave you questioning where you stand. ❤️‍🩹 Hosted on Acast.

This week, we're talking about one of the hardest breakup situations I can imagine... living with your ex.If you've ever found yourself trying to heal while still sharing a home with the person who broke your heart, you'll know just how confusing it can be. One minute you're crying in your room, the next you're bumping into them in the kitchen pretending everything's fine. It can make moving on feel almost impossible.In this episode, I'm sharing the biggest mistakes I think people make when they're living with an ex after a breakup, from slipping back into old relationship routines and overanalysing every little interaction, to why boundaries aren't just important... they're essential. I also talk about the things that will genuinely help you protect your peace, start letting go, and remind your brain that this chapter won't last forever.If you're currently in this situation, or you're counting down the days until one of you finally moves out, I really hope this episode makes you feel a little less alone. It might not feel like it right now, but I promise there is life on the other side of this, and one day you'll have your own space, your own routines, and your peace back.I hope this episode gives you the comfort, reassurance and little reality check you need if you're navigating one of the toughest parts of heartbreak. 🤍 Hosted on Acast.

This week, I'm so excited to welcome Yasmine Gould back to The Break-Up Diet. Yasmine is a life alchemist who helps people heal unconscious patterns and turn their triggers into transformation, and every time she comes on the podcast, I leave looking at life (and relationships) completely differently.If you've ever questioned whether someone is actually right for you, worried about wasting years in the wrong relationship, or found yourself repeating the same dating patterns, this episode is for you.We talk about what compatibility really means, why chemistry isn't enough, the conversations you should be having much earlier in relationships, emotional maturity, attachment, choosing someone to build a life and family with, narcissistic traits, recognising unhealthy relationship dynamics, and how the patterns we learn in childhood can shape the people we choose as adults.This is one of those conversations that genuinely makes you stop and think, and I know I'll be taking so much of Yasmine's advice into my own life.I really hope you love this one as much as I loved recording it. 💗 Hosted on Acast.

This week I'm joined by Olympia Anley and honestly... this conversation made me question SO many things I thought were completely normal.Because why are so many of us walking around feeling exhausted, stressed, bloated, overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out and just generally a bit "off"... and acting like it's completely fine?Olympia shares how she went from living the typical university lifestyle of constant nights out, hangovers and ignoring every warning sign her body was giving her, to completely transforming her health and becoming obsessed with wellness, longevity and feeling her best.We talk about the surprising symptoms that made her realise something wasn't right, why so many women have become disconnected from their bodies, and how we often normalise feeling tired, inflamed and burnt out when our bodies might actually be trying to tell us something.We also get into alcohol, dating sober, burnout, stress, meditation, gut health, hormones, emotional wellbeing and why some of the things we do every single day could be having a bigger impact on our health than we realise.And because this is The Break-Up Diet... we couldn't not talk about relationships. Olympia shares her thoughts on healing after a breakup, why closure doesn't come from your ex, the mistake so many of us make when we're trying to move on, and why constantly looking for answers from someone else can actually keep you stuck for longer.Plus, we talk about learning to trust yourself again, reconnecting with your body, and why feeling your best isn't actually about perfection — it's about finally listening to yourself.This episode is eye-opening, thought-provoking and one of those conversations that will probably have you questioning a few of your own habits afterwards.So if you've ever found yourself saying "I'm just tired", "I'm just stressed", "I need closure", or "I guess this is what being an adult feels like"... this one's for you.🎧 Maybe Feeling This Bad Isn't Normal. ft Olympia Anley Hosted on Acast.

This week’s episode is a little different because it’s just me.And honestly… I wanted to record this episode because this time last year I was an absolute MESS.My breakup was still fresh, I was stalking my ex’s following list like it was a full-time job, convincing myself I was fine when I absolutely was not, and genuinely didn’t believe I would ever get over him.Fast forward one year and I can honestly say… I can’t believe I let that man ruin my summer.In this episode I’m talking about everything I wish I knew a year ago, the embarrassing things I did after my breakup that I swore I’d never admit out loud, why checking their social media keeps you stuck, dating before you’re ready, feeling like you’ll never be happy again, and the pressure to have a “hot girl summer” when you’re secretly trying to hold yourself together.We also get into why breakups can make you feel completely lost, grieving the future you imagined together, feeling rejected, comparing everyone to your ex, and the moment I realised I wasn’t actually missing him anymore… I was finally getting myself back.If you’re going through heartbreak right now and feel like you’re never going to be okay again, I promise you this episode is for you.Because one year ago I genuinely thought my life was over.And now? I barely recognise that girl.So if you're currently stalking his followers, replaying old conversations, wondering if you'll ever stop missing him, or feeling like everyone else has moved on except you… grab a drink, get comfy, and let's have a chat. 💌✨🎧 I Can’t Believe I Let That Man Ruin My Summer.

Casual.This week I’m joined by Josefin Eklund and we are not holding back. We get into the unhinged (but very real) things we’ve all done after a breakup — stalking, spiralling, comparing, and convincing ourselves we’re fine when we’re absolutely not.From fake scenarios and detective-level investigating… to ignoring red flags, questioning everything, and that feeling when you know something’s off but can’t prove it.And the real question is:are you actually trying to move on… or are you just looking for something that keeps you attached?Because sometimes it’s not about him anymore — it’s about the habit of checking, the need to know, and the part of you that isn’t ready to let go yet.Messy, honest, and a little bit too relatable.If you’ve ever checked who he followed and instantly felt sick… go on, press play.

If you don’t even feel good around him anymore…so why can’t you leave?No literally… why is it SO hard to walk away from someone you know isn’t right for you?This episode is that conversation you have with your friends where everything suddenly clicks.Because you’re not crazy — your brain is literally addicted to him.This week I’m joined by Dr Kalli, psychologist, manifestation and self-concept coach, and qualified NLP coach, and we get into why you can know it’s not right… but still feel completely stuck in it.Why your logical brain basically goes offline in toxic relationships, why you keep going back, and why it can feel impossible to let go… even when you don’t feel like yourself anymore.Because it’s not just about him — it’s the attachment, the dopamine, the familiarity.And sometimes (even without realising it)… they’ve made you feel like you need them.We also talk about the shift that changes everything:when you realise nothing was going to change… until you did.If you’ve ever sat there thinking “why can’t I just leave?”this one’s for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you’ve ever been obsessed with a guy who’s giving you the bare minimum…this episode might be a little bit of a wake-up call.Because sometimes it’s not that you actually like him.You just like the feeling of being chosen.This week I’m joined by Alice Potts, former London matchmaker turned dating coach helping women avoid the wrong men and finally build secure relationships, and we get very honest about what’s really going on in modern dating.We talk about why so many of us end up chasing men who aren’t choosing us properly, why “confusion” is usually a red flag (sorry), and how easy it is to mistake attention for something deeper. Because let’s be real… if he liked you, you’d know. And if you’re overthinking it, that probably tells you everything.We get into the patterns that keep you stuck, why you keep wanting the ones who don’t want you back, and how dating apps have completely warped the way we connect. And also… the slightly uncomfortable truth that a lot of the time, we’re not actually dating for love — we’re dating for validation.This is the kind of conversation you have with your friends after a glass (or three) of wine, where everything suddenly clicks and you’re like “wait… why have I never thought about it like this?”Because we’ve all had that situation where deep down we knew it wasn’t right… but stayed anyway. Overthinking every message, analysing every little bit of attention, and convincing ourselves it meant more than it actually did.If you’ve ever found yourself chasing, confused, or asking your friends “why do I keep doing this?” when it comes to men…this episode is for you.And if you’re ready to actually break those patterns, Alice offers 1:1 mentoring sessions to help you avoid the wrong men and build secure, healthy relationships. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you’ve ever thought “maybe I’m just bad in bed…”this episode might change your entire perspective.This week I’m joined by Lauren Short, founder of sexual wellness brand Ples'Jour, and we’re talking about something that weirdly… no one ever actually teaches women about: pleasure.Because somehow we grow up learning everything about sex except the part where we’re actually supposed to enjoy it.💌 Listener Discount:Lauren has kindly shared an exclusive discount for listeners of The Break-Up Diet.Use code BREAKUPDIET for money off full-size and bundle silicone lubricants.Shop here:https://plesjour.com/Because prioritising your own pleasure is part of the healing process.In this episode we get into:• why so many women feel pressure to perform• why the orgasm gap is very real• why so many of us think something is wrong with us when in reality… no one ever taught us how our bodies actually work• why lube still has such a stigma (even though almost everyone could benefit from using it)• how stress, hormones and relationships affect attraction and arousal• why confidence in the bedroom actually starts with understanding your own body• how reconnecting with yourself after a breakup can completely change how you show up in your next relationshipAnd yes… this episode also includes a truly chaotic story involving expired lube from 2016 and a very unfortunate rash.You’ve been warned.If you’ve ever felt pressure to be “good in bed”, compared yourself to what you think sex is supposed to look like, or realised halfway through your twenties that maybe nobody ever actually explained any of this properly…this episode is for you.Welcome back to The Break-Up Diet.Buckle up, girls. 💔✨ Hosted on Acast.

If you’ve ever tried to go on a date before you were actually over your ex… this episode is your warning. 💔This week I’m joined by one of my oldest friends ever, Esta Fiorani (we’ve literally known each other since pony camp when we were kids 🐴), and we’re getting very honest about what it’s really like going through a breakup after a long relationship.Because sometimes it’s not a dramatic cheating scandal or a toxic situation.Sometimes it’s just…Six Years Together… Then Nothing.We talk about breaking up with someone who isn’t a bad person, when your partner is also your best friend, and how weird it feels when someone who was part of your everyday life suddenly isn’t there anymore.We also get into the chaos of trying to date again too soon, post-breakup glow-ups, crying to your friends for the 500th time, and why healing after a long relationship is honestly a full-time job.And yes… at one point in this episode we talk about the moment that perfectly sums up post-breakup dating:“He tried to kiss me while I was crying over my ex…”You can’t make this stuff up.If you’ve ever left a relationship you still cared about, missed someone you know wasn’t right for you, or had your friends drag you through heartbreak one wine night at a time… this episode is for you.Welcome back to The Break-Up Diet.

Breakups don’t just end relationships — they strip away the noise and force you to face yourself.In Part 2, I’m joined again by Lydia Mae, breakup coach and Reiki therapist, and we’re talking about what happens next. How to stop holding on to what’s gone, start trusting yourself again, and rebuild a life that actually feels aligned with who you are now.We talk about why breakups can be the most transformational turning points in your life, how to build self-trust in small everyday moments, and why letting go isn’t about losing love — it’s about returning to yourself.Because when you stop seeking validation and start listening inward, everything shifts. Your boundaries strengthen. Your intuition gets louder. And you begin making decisions from clarity instead of fear.This isn’t about rushing your healing or pretending you’re fine. It’s about learning to trust yourself enough to move forward — one small step at a time.If you’ve been wondering whether this breakup is the beginning of something better… this episode is for you.Press play.

Breakups have a way of making you feel like you’ve been unpicked. Unchosen. Replaced.And suddenly you’re left wondering… who the hell am I without them?In Part 1, I’m joined again by Lydia Mae, breakup coach and Reiki therapist, and we’re talking about what really happens when a relationship ends. Not just losing them, but losing parts of yourself along the way. Why we tie our worth to being chosen, how we slowly abandon ourselves in love, and what it actually takes to rebuild self-trust after heartbreak.We talk about the truth that people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, and how accepting that can be the difference between staying stuck and moving forward.Because here’s the thing: knowledge is power. When you understand your patterns, your attachments, and your emotional triggers, you stop blaming yourself and start growing.And maybe the most important reminder of all, your body is your biggest compass. When you learn to listen to it, you stop chasing what isn’t meant for you.If you’ve ever felt “not enough,” stayed too long, or lost yourself trying to keep someone… this episode is your wake-up call.Press play.

In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend Josephin Eklund and we’re talking about the emotional whiplash of Valentine’s Day — from expecting flowers that definitely weren’t from him, to realising you might’ve hyped the day up way more than the man did.We get into the confusion of mystery flowers, waiting around all day for a gesture that never comes, and the quiet spiral that follows when you tell yourself you don’t care (but obviously… you do). Josephin shares her worst and best Valentine’s Days — including crashing dates, fake accents in LA, Galentine’s plans, and why one of her favourite Valentine’s involved a walk to Whole Foods and a salad.We also talk about why Valentine’s Day feels so forced, why bare-minimum behaviour hurts more on this one specific day, and how to actually make the day about you — whether you’re single, dating, or deeply over it. Make this Valentine’s Day about you. Do what you enjoy doing.If you’ve ever waited for flowers, lowered your expectations in real time, or told yourself “it’s fine, I didn’t even want them” — this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar.🎧 Didn’t Get Flowers on Valentine’s Day? Same. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you needed a sign today, this is it.In this episode, I’m joined by one of my best friends Jemima Rhys (aka Mimi), and we’re getting painfully honest about love goggles, situationships, first loves, and why we all stay way too long when we already know the answer deep down.We talk about falling fast, romanticising potential, ignoring obvious red flags, and getting completely humbled by men who “aren’t ready” but somehow still want all the benefits. We also get into why situationships can actually hurt more than real breakups, how rebound eras spiral quickly, and why blocking, muting and choosing peace is sometimes the only option.This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought “but what if he changes?”, gone back “one last time”, or needed their friends to shake them and say get up.Spoiler: he’s not your husband — and that’s okay.If you’ve been feeling stuck, emotionally attached to potential, or just need a brutal but loving wake-up call from your girls, this one’s for you. 💔✨ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, I’m joined by my very good friend Josefin Eklund, and let’s just say… it escalates quickly.We’re talking rebounds (more than one), sleeping with your ex after the breakup, and the awkward reality of “no contact” when you suddenly have to message them about… antibiotics. Yes, that actually happened. We get into whether rebounds actually help, how to realise you’re not over someone at the worst possible time, and why sometimes your friend has to text your ex for you because the shame is too real.Josefin opens up about breaking up during lockdown, not being invited to her boyfriend’s birthday (while living together), Christmas sex with an ex, and the moment she finally got over him in Tulum. We also cover being friends with your ex (or absolutely not), closure conversations, forgiving people who hurt you, and why breaking up with a good guy can feel even worse.Plus: no-contact rules, post-breakup glow-ups (or lack of), saying “I love you” without meaning it, and the most niche ick you’ve ever heard involving snails and bare feet.If you’ve ever texted your ex when you said you wouldn’t, used a rebound as a coping mechanism, or convinced yourself chaos is character development — this episode is for you.🎧 Don’t Text Your Ex (Unless You Have To) - Josefin Eklund Hosted on Acast.

If you’re exhausted, confused, and low-key over dating… this episode is for you.Dating in 2026 feels like a never-ending cycle of situationships, mixed signals, low-effort dates, and men who want all the benefits of a girlfriend — without the label. And honestly? I’m tired. The bare minimum isn’t enough anymore.In this episode, I’m talking about why dating apps feel soulless, why situationships seem to last longer than actual relationships, why “what are we?” feels like the scariest question ever, and why giving girlfriend energy without the commitment is the fastest way to burn yourself out. Breadcrumbing, ghosting, over-analysing texts, settling because you’re tired of dating, and staying longer than you should because being single feels scary — it’s all in here.STOP dating men who want GIRLFRIEND BENEFITS without actually committing.Girlfriend Benefits. No Label. No Thanks.This is your friendly (but firm) reminder to raise your standards, walk away when the red flags show up, and choose yourself.If you’ve ever deleted a dating app just to re-download it a week later, accepted the bare minimum, or stayed in something that left you feeling confused instead of secure — you need to listen to this.

This week on The Break Up Diet, Yaz is in New York with Aris Yeager aka The European Kid for a very real, very honest conversation about breakups in big cities and why they somehow hurt more the older we get.Aris opens up about his worst breakup and why the ones from your teenage years do not even compare. We talk about how moving to a fast paced city like New York can completely shift your priorities, your relationships, and your sense of self. And like a lot of men, the heartbreak did not hit straight away. It crept in weeks later through the small things. Seeing something funny and instinctively wanting to text them. Reaching for your phone out of habit. Realising someone quietly became part of your everyday life.We get into modern dating in big cities, fake energy, surface level connections, and how social media makes it feel like there is always something better around the corner. Aris shares what it is like navigating relationships while having an online persona, why genuine people feel rarer than ever, and why closure actually matters when it comes to moving on.This episode is thoughtful, relatable, and very Break Up Diet coded. It is for anyone who has ever wondered why they are still hurting while their ex seems completely fine, or felt like a breakup is less about losing a person and more about losing a version of your life.Press play if you are healing, reflecting, or just want to feel a little less alone.

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.

It’s officially the end of an era 😭In this episode, we’re closing out the year with zero holding back.

It’s cold. London is dark by 4pm. Raya is suddenly popping off. Which can only mean one thing… it’s cuffing season ❄️💔In this episode, Yaz & Ilmz get painfully honest about winter situationships, temporary boyfriends, and the very real question: are you actually lonely — or are you just cold? From the intimacy of doing the food shop together to cosplaying a relationship that has absolutely no future, cuffing season has a way of blurring the lines between comfort and commitment.We talk about why winter flings hit harder than summer ones, how easy it is to confuse closeness with intention, and why being single during the festive season might actually be elite. There’s Raya chaos, London dating droughts, the Great Lock-In, and a reality check on letting winter trick you into someone who won’t survive spring.If you’re debating texting your ex, settling for a “just for now” situation, or wondering why everyone suddenly has plans with a boy, this episode is for you. Grab a blanket, light a candle, and press play — hot water bottles over exes, always.🕯️✨ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on The Break-Up Diet, we’re joined by Holly Valentine — the TikTok breakup girlie who turned her heartbreak into a full-blown community of women healing right alongside her.Holly gets real about the breakup that made her lose herself: the on-again-off-again chaos, the begging and bargaining phase she’s now emotionally allergic to, and the moment she hit rock bottom and said, “Right. I’m done.”She talks about blocking literally half her hometown, skydiving two weeks after getting dumped (because why cry when you can jump out of a plane?), walking for hours just to feel human again, and the terrifying-but-freeing reality of realising she had no idea who she was without him.We get into losing your identity in a relationship, rebuilding your entire life from scratch, learning to be alone for the first time, and the power of choosing yourself even when your ex is 100% stalking your TikToks. (Hi babe — enjoy the content.)If you’ve ever rotted in bed after a breakup, checked his socials like it was a full-time job, or fallen in love with a man so deeply you forgot you even existed… this episode is a warm hug, a wake-up call, and a group chat all in one.Grab your iced latte, re-block your ex (again), and heal with us. 💅💔✨ Hosted on Acast.

This week on The Break-Up Diet, we’re joined by Steven Springett from MAFS UK Season 10 and trust us, the drama did not end when the cameras stopped rolling. From marrying a complete stranger to surviving an edit that had everyone talking, plus Hinge chaos, hate DMs, and one breakup story so wild it sounds illegal… Steven is finally telling all.We dig into everything Season 10 didn’t show: the mess, the pressure, the off-camera conversations, and the therapy that followed. And yes — Steven shares the breakup moment that lives in our heads rent-free: the time he tried to return his ex’s things… and ended up hearing her with another man on the other side of the door. Truly cinematic trauma.It’s raw, shocking, hilarious, and everything we love on this podcast.If you’re addicted to reality TV tea, modern dating disasters, and men being painfully honest for once… this episode is your whole personality today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Is honesty actually the best policy in a breakup, or is it just the official excuse people use right before they emotionally drop-kick you? This week, we unpack the breakup truth spectrum — from the clarity you deserve to the chaos you definitely didn’t order.Ilma and I get into it: the difference between honesty and emotional sabotage, why some people romanticise closure like it’s a personality trait, and why the delivery of the truth can sometimes feel more villain-coded than the truth itself. We talk brutal timings, ego-fuelled confessions, shock-induced silence, and the breakup questions spiral we all pretend we’re above… until we’re in it.This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought: ‘Okay, fine, I can handle the truth — just don’t emotionally ruin me in the process.’ Because honesty? Gorgeous. Weaponised honesty? Jail, immediately.Think of this as your breakup survival guide, but actually fun — smart, warm, insightful, and full of bite-sized wisdom you’ll want to share straight to the group chat.Welcome back to The Breakup Diet — where we keep it real, keep it classy, and keep it very, very honest (minus the emotional arson). 🎧✨💋 Hosted on Acast.

This week on The Break Up Diet, Yaz and Ilmz sit down with women’s trauma expert and author Jessica Ella to unpack the real reason your dating history looks like the same man copy pasted into different bodies.If you’ve ever said, “How do I keep ending up with this guy?” girl, this is your episode.Jessica breaks down why your brain (and your nervous system) gets hooked on people who feel “familiar”… even when “familiar” is actually toxic. We get into trauma bonds, attachment wounds, love bombing, anxious avoidant chaos, and why the “nice guy” gives you the ick when your body is addicted to red flag energy.Jessica also shares her own story, the kind that hits you straight in the chest, and how she turned some of her darkest moments into real, goosebump level strength.This episode is part therapy session, part reality check, and part girl talk intervention.You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll feel painfully seen… and you might rethink every situationship you’ve ever been in.⚠️ Listen with caution:Some parts may feel heavy or confronting. We talk about trauma, emotional abuse cycles, and toxic patterns, so take care of yourself while you listen.If you’re ready to break the cycle and finally stop confusing chaos with chemistry… this is your sign. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Cheating isn’t a mistake. It’s a choice. And in this episode, Yaz and Ilma are saying what everyone’s thinking.From “once a cheater, always a cheater” debates to the FBI-level tactics girls use to catch them out (yes, we’re talking Uber reflections and memorising passcodes), this one gets personal, hilarious, and just a little bit savage.The girls unpack why people cheat. Is it boredom, lack of willpower, or just pure horniness? And what about the double standards that come with it? Why is it that when men cheat, it’s “just a mistake,” but when women do it, it’s war? Yaz opens up about her own experience with betrayal, Ilma confesses to a revenge cheat, and together they tackle everything from love bombing and lying to the brutal aftermath of rebuilding trust.They also question whether cheating should be illegal (yes, they said it), why social media has made everyone replaceable, and how the line between flirting and full-blown betrayal is blurrier than ever.It’s raw, funny, emotional, and painfully real. A mix of girl therapy and chaos you won’t want to miss. Whether you’ve been cheated on, cheated back, or just love hearing the tea, this episode will have you screaming “same” at least five times.Because at the end of the day?Cheating isn’t a mistake. It’s a choice. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on The Break-Up Diet, we’re joined by Hannah Norburn, the unforgettable firecracker from Married at First Sight UK Season 9.Hannah opens up about what it was really like to marry a stranger on national TV from being misunderstood and trolled, to navigating heartbreak and finding herself again. We talk about confidence, chaos, and the pressure women face to tone it down or be “likable.”She shares how she learned to rebuild her self-worth after public scrutiny, recognise gaslighting, and turn the toughest moments into her biggest glow-up yet. Expect raw honesty, lots of laughter, and some seriously empowering advice about self-love, boundaries, and owning every part of who you are.If you’ve ever been told you’re too loud, too emotional, or just too much, this episode is your reminder that you’re exactly enough and it’s time to stop apologising for it. 💋 Hosted on Acast.

Spooky season is here and so are the ghosts!This week, Yazz and Ilmz are getting real about the modern-day plague: ghosting. Why people do it, when it’s fair, and when it’s just plain rude. From “hot matcha breath” dates to those tragic Monday-text-only men, the girls share their funniest and most brutal ghosting stories — plus some from you lot that are actually insane.They’re unpacking the icks, the vanishing acts, and the hard truth that sometimes silence really is the answer. But don’t worry — this isn’t a pity party. It’s your reminder that your peace is priceless, closure is optional, and standards are non-negotiable.So pour a glass, put your phone on Do Not Disturb, and get ready to laugh, heal, and haunt back. Because this Halloween, we’re ghosting with purpose. 💀 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

They say every heartbreak hurts, but according to Sophie Milner, it also makes you hotter, happier, and maybe even Prime Minister material. 👑This week, Yaz and Ilmz sit down with content creator and certified It girl Sophie Milner to talk about the wild magic that happens after a breakup. From love bombing and “he wanted a dog, not a girlfriend” energy to finding yourself after losing someone else, Sophie shares why every split has made her stronger, sharper, and more successful.The girls chat about that viral TikTok moment where Sophie declared she is two breakups away from being Prime Minister, how women give too much of themselves in relationships, and why reclaiming your time, energy, and confidence is the ultimate revenge. Expect unfiltered laughs, honest confessions, and a few outrageous stories featuring love-bombers, glow-ups, and the occasional micropenis.If you have ever been left questioning your worth, this one is for you. Because as Sophie proves, every heartbreak is just a plot twist in your glow-up era, and sometimes losing him is how you find yourself. 💔✨ Hosted on Acast.

What kind of friend are you when your bestie’s heart breaks? The fixer, the listener, or the one showing up with wine and a bad playlist?This week, Yaz and Ilmz unpack what being a really good friend after a breakup looks like because supporting someone through heartbreak isn’t as simple as sending a check-in text. They talk emotional first aid, reading the room before giving advice, and why sometimes sitting in silence says more than the perfect pep talk.From hyping her up on the hard days to helping her find her spark again (and yes, knowing when it’s time to throw the block party), this episode is your go-to guide for friendship in the heartbreak era.Whether your bestie’s going through it or you are, this one’s for you. Because healing doesn’t just happen alone. Sometimes, it takes a friend who knows when to show up, shut up, and pour the prosecco. 🥂 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if the closure you’re waiting for isn’t theirs to give?This week, we sit down with Ashleigh Berry from Love Is Blind UK Season 2 for a raw and honest chat about heartbreak in the spotlight, healing in private, and the quiet courage it takes to choose yourself after a very public “no.”Ashleigh opens up about her journey with Billy, the man she married in the experiment, and what it was really like to relive their breakup on national TV. She shares how anniversaries can live in your body, the grounding rituals that kept her steady when the internet had opinions about her life, and what choosing peace over performance really looks like.We dive into balancing a career you love with the pressure to compromise, the fine line between flexibility and losing yourself, and what real partnership means when both people are still growing.Ashleigh also shares her favourite healing tool: voice-note check-ins — an easy but powerful way to hear your own growth in real time (and honestly, way less effort than journaling).If you’re going through heartbreak, figuring out long-distance love, or learning how to protect your peace while staying ambitious, this one’s for you. We talk boundaries, real communication, and why saying “no” is one of the kindest things you can do — for you.Press play, take what you need, and remember: closure isn’t always a conversation. Sometimes, it’s a decision. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

One year later… and we are NOT the same girls 💔✨. When we launched The Break-Up Diet, Yaz was in a relationship and Ilmz was caught up in a situationship. Fast forward 365 days, we’ve faced heartbreaks, career shake-ups, and glow-up moments we never saw coming. We barely recognise the girls who pressed record a year ago.The biggest lesson? Trust your gut. That little voice telling you something isn’t right is always spot on. Ignoring it kept us stuck but listening has been a total game-changer.In this anniversary episode, we’re spilling what breakups REALLY taught us (spoiler: it’s not what you think 🍵). From crying in bed to living our hot girl era, from losing relationships to finding ourselves, this year has been messy, chaotic, and transformative in all the best ways.Grab a drink, because the tea is hot, the lessons are real, and the glow-up is just getting started 🍷✨.

So your heart’s been smashed and the thought of sex feels… impossible? We’ve been there. But what if getting back in touch with your pleasure was the key to actually healing? In this episode of The Break Up Diet, we’re joined by Lovehoney's sexologist and founder of Good Vibes Clinic, Christine Rafe, for our spiciest chat yet and trust us, it’s the post-breakup pep talk you didn’t know you needed.Christine gets real about why we slide back into toxic “Dick Sand” with our exes, how to spot if you’re chasing a rebound for the wrong reasons, and why your body feeling foreign after heartbreak is totally normal (and temporary). She shares her step-by-step tips for rediscovering your sensuality, starting with little non-sexual pleasures — sunshine, laughter, friendship — before graduating to self-exploration, confidence-building, and yes… the toys that can change the game. 👀We also dive into the messy psychology of attachment, how to actually set boundaries around trust and cheating (spoiler: everyone defines it differently), and why single, child-free women just might be the happiest demographic of all. Whether you’re fresh out of a breakup, questioning your worth, or just curious about how to build the best sex life on your own terms, this conversation will make you laugh, squirm, and maybe even order a new toy by the end.Heartbreak hurts — but your sexy is waiting to be stolen back.
