After talking to countless people about their breakups, I’ve created a list of tools you can use so you don’t have to suffer in silence like I did. As a rule of thumb with all my advice, take what you want and leave the rest. Some of these tips will resonate with you, others won’t. You are the author of your post-breakup journey. Take the pen and create a future that works for you.

Dating yourself is a practice of self-care. When you’re going through a breakup, making time to take yourself on dates is how you continue to show up for YOU. Don’t abandon yourself during this time! Stay connected to the part of you that is hurting and needs a whole lot of love and tender care.
