About this episode

This is The Beginning of the End, a Relationship Doctor mini-series from author and podcaster Jessie Stephens. Jessie's debut book, Heartsick, follows three stories of heartbreak, the kind of heartbreak that upends a life, and puts words around a brand of grief that we, as a culture, do not respect enough.

In this three-part mini-series, Jessie shares three brand new stories, unique to the podcast. In episode three, Jessie turns inwards, and tells us her own story of heartbreak.
