#46: 5 Tips for Rebuilding After a Long-...

Stephanie Rigg
About this episode

In this episode, I'm sharing 5 tips for rebuilding after a long-term relationship ends. Let's face it: break-ups are painful at the best of times. But when the relationship was a long-term one, it can be even more challenging to navigate our "new" life without our ex in it. I'll be sharing tips to support you through the life cycle of your break-up - from the initial grieving process all the way through to re-entering the dating world. 

We cover:

  • How to grieve your break-up in a healthy way
  • Why it's important to have support people around you
  • Using your break-up as an opportunity to spring clean your life
  • How to step outside your comfort zone 
  • Tips for starting to date again
