#85: Feeling lonely vs. missing your ex

BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

On today's episode, we explore the difference between feeling lonely vs. missing your ex. It's completely normal to miss your ex following a break up, but it's important to separate what you miss about your ex versus what you just miss about relationships. Throughout this episode, we will dig into identifying what you miss about your ex, the voids left by the break up, and really help you identify and distinguish the difference between missing your ex, and missing being in a relationship.
