  The Ultimate Comeback Series: Why healing during your comeback feels so up and down w/ Georgie Collinson 13.08.2026 42min

  Does it ever feel like you're making progress after your breakup… and then one bad day convinces you you're right back where you started? One week you feel hopeful, the next you're crying over something that didn't bother you yesterday, and suddenly you're questioning whether you're healing at all. In this episode of the Ultimate Comeback Series, I sit down with Georgie Collinson to talk about why real comebacks don't happen in a straight line. She shares a four-phase cycle that completely reframes the ups and downs of healing so you can stop treating every setback as failure and start understanding what it's actually preparing you for. If you've been frustrated by how unpredictable your healing feels or wondering if you'll ever truly get to the other side, this conversation will help you see your comeback through a completely different lens.

  Ep. 353 - 3 decisions that changed my life in 24 hours 10.08.2026 26min

  Have you ever felt like you've lost yourself? Like you're overthinking every decision, waiting until you have the perfect reason before taking action, or looking to everyone else for permission before trusting yourself? This episode is for that version of you. I share the three realizations that completely changed the direction of my life and business in less than 24 hours—and why I think they apply just as much to heartbreak as they do to any season where you feel stuck, scared, or disconnected from yourself. We talk about what happens when you stop needing to justify what you want, stop outsourcing your decisions to other people's opinions, and stop believing that healing or building a life you love has to be hard to be meaningful. If you're ready to feel more like yourself again but don't know where to start, this conversation may give you the shift you've been looking for.

  The Ultimate Comeback Series: The hardest decision led to her biggest comeback w/ Meagan Norris 06.08.2026 48min

  Leaving a marriage is one of the hardest decisions a person can make—especially when children are involved. It's easy to wonder whether you're giving up too soon, whether you'll regret it, or whether life on the other side could ever feel better than the one you're leaving behind. In this episode, I sit down with divorce coach Meagan Norris to talk about the comeback that followed one of the hardest choices of her life. We discuss the parenting differences that ultimately led to the end of her marriage, what it took to trust herself through that decision, and how she rebuilt a life that felt more aligned than the one she left behind. If you've ever questioned whether choosing yourself means sacrificing your future, this conversation offers a perspective on what's possible when you stop building a life around fear and start building one around what matters most.

  Ep. 352 - How to stop comparing everyone you date to your ex 03.08.2026 10min

  If every date ends with you thinking, "They're nice… but they're not my ex," this episode is for you. One of the biggest reasons people stay emotionally stuck after a breakup is because they unknowingly use their ex as the benchmark for every new person they meet. But comparing someone new to your past doesn't tell you whether they're the right partner—it usually tells you something about where you are in your healing process. In this episode, I walk you through the three-step framework I use with my coaching clients to figure out why your brain keeps making these comparisons, how to know whether you're truly over your ex, and what to focus on instead so you can start dating with clarity rather than constantly looking backward. If you're tired of wondering whether no one will ever measure up to your ex, this episode will help you understand what's actually happening and what to do next.

  Ep. 351 - How to stop songs from reminding you of your ex 27.07.2026 12min

  Does hearing a certain song instantly pull you back into memories of your ex? Maybe you're fine one minute, then a song comes on in the grocery store or during your drive home and suddenly you're replaying the relationship, imagining getting back together, and wondering if you'll ever stop missing them. If that cycle feels familiar, this episode will show you a different way to handle those moments. I walk you through the exact breakup protocol I use with my coaching clients to stop emotional triggers from turning into hours of rumination and longing. Instead of avoiding songs, memories, or places that remind you of your ex, you'll learn how to respond to them in a way that helps you move forward rather than keeping you emotionally attached. If you're tired of one song ruining your entire day, this episode will give you a practical framework you can start using the very next time you're triggered.

  Ep. 350 - How to stop feeling like a failure after a breakup 20.07.2026 10min

  If your breakup has left you questioning your own judgment, wondering how you could have loved someone who ultimately left, betrayed you, or wasn't right for you, this episode is for you. One of the most painful parts of heartbreak isn't just losing the relationship, it's starting to believe the relationship failed because you failed. That belief quietly chips away at your confidence, making it harder to trust yourself in dating, relationships, and even other areas of your life. In this episode, I share three questions I use with my coaching clients to help separate your identity from the outcome of the relationship, rebuild self-trust, and stop using your breakup as evidence that something is wrong with you. If you've been stuck thinking, "How can I trust myself after this?" this conversation will give you a completely different way to look at what happened and show you the first step toward believing in yourself again.

  Ep. 349 - How to stop romanticizing your ex 13.07.2026 14min

  After a breakup, it's amazing how quickly your brain can erase everything that wasn't working in the relationship. The arguments, the incompatibilities, the moments you questioned whether they were really right for you suddenly disappear, and all you can think is, "I lost the love of my life." If you've found yourself obsessing over why your ex didn't choose you while barely considering whether you would actually choose them today, this episode will change the way you think about your breakup. I'll walk you through three powerful questions I use with my coaching clients to help them stop idealizing their ex, reconnect with their own standards, and shift from feeling rejected to making intentional choices about the kind of relationship they actually want. And if part of you still hopes your ex comes back, we'll also explore why getting clear on what would need to change before you ever considered reconciliation can completely transform the way you move through heartbreak. This episode is a simple exercise with the power to change how you see your past—and your future. Free consultation call with Dorothy: www.lifecoachdorothy.com

  Ep. 348 - How to stop spiraling after something your ex did 06.07.2026 14min

  If something your ex did recently sent you into a spiral, they unfollowed you, started dating someone else, viewed your story, ignored your message, or did something that left you questioning your worth, this episode will help you get back on solid ground. The hardest part of these moments usually isn't what happened. It's the meaning your brain immediately assigns to it and the behaviors that follow. In this episode, I walk you through the same three-step process I recently used with a client after one unexpected action from her ex unraveled an entire weekend. You'll learn how to uncover the thoughts fueling the spiral, challenge the stories keeping you stuck, and create a simple plan so the next trigger doesn't have the same power over you. If you're tired of one interaction with your ex undoing weeks or months of progress, this episode will show you how to recover faster, respond differently, and keep moving toward the life you actually want.

  Ep. 347 - How to get over a friendship breakup 29.06.2026 20min

  Friendship breakups can be just as painful and confusing as romantic ones, yet most of us have no idea how to move through them. If you've been replaying conversations, questioning what you did wrong, wondering if you'll ever find friendships that feel as meaningful again, or feeling unexpectedly heartbroken over someone who was "just a friend," this episode is for you. I'm sharing my own first experience navigating a friendship breakup and walking you through the exact three-part process I use to help people heal romantic heartbreak, adapted for losing a friend. We explore the stories we create about ourselves after a relationship ends, why forcing yourself into strict no contact isn't always the answer, and how to stop organizing your future around a connection that no longer fits. If you're ready to grieve the friendship without carrying it forever and start creating friendships that feel even more aligned, this episode will give you a completely different way to move forward.

  Ep. 346 - Maybe I'm not as good as I thought I was 22.06.2026 21min

  After a breakup, it's easy to think you're grieving the relationship when what you're actually grieving is the version of yourself you thought you were. The confident version. The chosen version. The version who never questioned her worth. If you've caught yourself wondering whether your ex leaving means you're not as lovable, valuable, successful, attractive, or capable as you once believed, this episode is for you. In this conversation, we unpack why heartbreak often turns into a crisis of identity and how your brain quietly uses the breakup as evidence against you. I share the exact exercises that helped me rebuild trust in myself after losing my engagement and pregnancy, along with the same work I use with clients who feel like they've lost their confidence, momentum, or sense of self after heartbreak. If you're tired of measuring your worth through the lens of what happened with your ex and ready to reconnect with who you are beyond the breakup, this episode will give you a completely different way to look at your healing journey.

If you're ready to reset and move into the second half of the year with more intention, this episode is for you.

You'll hear about the emotional aftermath of leaving someone you still loved, especially when you felt like you had no other choice.  This episode explores the guilt of hurting someone, the pressure of feeling responsible for their emotions, and the confusing mix of desire, attachment, grief, and second-guessing that can happen after a breakup you initiated.  You'll also learn why doubting your decision is often connected to unresolved attachment and what it actually looks like to feel grounded and confident in your choice to leave.

  BONUS: The relationship was an affair 11.06.2026 7min

  BONUS: The relationship was a situationship 09.06.2026 7min

  If you're heartbroken over a situationship and secretly judging yourself for how much it hurts, this episode will help you feel seen. You'll hear why undefined relationships can create just as much attachment, obsession, and grief as fully committed ones… and sometimes even more.  This conversation explores the emotional impact of ghosting, mixed signals, fantasy futures, and the stories we build in our minds about what "could have been." You'll also learn why telling yourself it "shouldn't hurt this much" keeps you stuck and what actually helps you move forward instead. If you've been replaying a situationship that never fully became a relationship, this episode will help you understand the attachment underneath it and show you a healthier path toward letting go.

  Ep. 344 - Her ex (who never wanted marriage) got engaged and she didn't flinch, here's how 08.06.2026 24min

  If you're stuck thinking "my ex was everything I ever wanted" this episode is going to hit hard in the best way. You'll hear from Sam, a Braveheart who walked away from a seven-year relationship with someone she deeply loved because one core desire never aligned: she wanted marriage, and he didn't. Even knowing that, getting over him felt impossible at first. In this conversation, we unpack what actually helped her release the emotional grip he had on her, stop romanticizing the relationship, and rebuild trust in herself after heartbreak. We talk about the exact mindset shifts and tools that helped her reduce desire and attachment to her ex so she could finally move forward instead of staying emotionally tied to someone unavailable. And the wild part? By the time her ex eventually got engaged, she had already met the love of her life, gotten married herself, had a baby, and genuinely didn't flinch at the news. If part of you still believes your ex was "the one" and you can't imagine wanting anyone else, this episode will show you what's actually possible on the other side of heartbreak.

  BONUS: I've tried everything and nothing has worked for me 05.06.2026 8min

  If you feel like you've tried everything to get over your ex and nothing has worked, this episode will probably feel very familiar. From journaling, therapy, meditation, dating someone new, tarot cards, hypnotherapy, "feeling your feelings," and endlessly making lists of your ex's flaws… this conversation dives into why so many healing tools only take you part of the way.  You'll hear what's often missing beneath the surface of heartbreak recovery and why some people still feel emotionally stuck years later even after doing "all the work."  This episode breaks down the deeper patterns underneath attachment, obsession, and emotional looping while offering a more complete approach to finally letting go. If you're exhausted from trying to heal but still feel emotionally tied to your ex, this conversation will help you understand why, and what actually creates lasting change.

  BONUS: But my situation is different, I still have to see him everyday 04.06.2026 10min

  If you still have to see your ex every day, this episode will show you why healing is still completely possible. Whether you co-parent, work together, share mutual friends, or simply can't avoid crossing paths, you'll hear a different way to think about triggers, attachment, and emotional reactions after heartbreak.  Instead of obsessing over how to avoid your ex, this conversation explores what it actually looks like to reach true indifference,  where their presence no longer controls your emotions, your anxiety, or your life.  You'll learn why trying to restrict yourself can sometimes create even more craving and attachment, and how reducing desire and attachment changes the entire experience of seeing them. If your breakup feels "different" because you can't fully cut contact, this episode will help you feel hopeful, empowered, and far less trapped by the situation.
