From Breakup to Situationship: Can You A...

Jenny Meinen
About this episode

Welcome back to Girls Chat XO—your go-to spot for real talk, big feelings, and the beautiful chaos of modern love.


This week, Jenny and Ashley are diving into what comes after the breakup—the awkward, hilarious, slightly terrifying world of dating again. Ashley shares how she’s been healing, processing, and finally taking the leap into the dating pool… with a freshly made Hinge profile (that Jenny is seeing for the first time—live).

From analyzing dating app answers to defining what the hell a situationship even is, the girls open up about the emotional rollercoaster of reentering the dating scene. Ashley spills on her unexpected connection with someone new, navigating feelings when timelines don’t align, and standing firm in her worth (especially when exclusivity is on the table).

Meanwhile, Jenny breaks down why clarity, boundaries, and a sense of humor are must-haves when your heart is still healing but your flirty side is back online.


In this episode:
📱 Creating a dating profile post-breakup (and letting your bestie roast it)
💌 The new romance that feels good—but also complicated
🧠 Defining situationships: what they are, what they aren’t, and what you deserve
🚩 Why “asking for exclusivity” doesn’t always mean it’s the right relationship
🫶 How to stay soft, empowered, and honest in early dating

Whether you’re healing, swiping, or just curious about how it really feels to date again after heartbreak—this episode is your cozy, candid, and sometimes chaotic reminder that love after loss is possible… and it might even be fun.
