#231 Why Breakups are So Hard Dr. Lisa M...

BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

In today's episode I interview Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby about breakup recovery. I learned SO much in this interview as we discussed why breakups are so hard, the different stages of a breakup, how to navigate obsessive thinking about your ex, what's going on in our brains as we fight to get over someone, and so much more. I highly recommend everyone goes out and gets her book Exaholics and check out Dr. Lisa's podcast and her other offerings on her website.
