Ep. 298 - How to go from abandoned to th...

Breakup Coach Dorothy
About this episode

Two years ago, she moved to Hawaii for love and got dumped the moment she landed. No friends, no support system, completely alone. Today? She's calling in from a surf trip in Mexico, planning adventures to the Maldives, and dating from a place of complete confidence.

This is a 2-year check-in with a GOYE alumni who proves that your breakup breakdown can become your biggest breakthrough. She shares the exact tools she still uses daily, how she learned to stop taking rejection personally, and why dating feels effortless now.

Her biggest revelation? Realizing his emotional unavailability had nothing to do with her worth. Now when someone isn't a fit, whether dating or career, she doesn't spiral, she just moves on.

If you're in the thick of heartbreak thinking this is the worst thing that could happen to you, listen to this. You're going to look back and be proud of yourself. The life you're building without him is better than anything you imagined with him.
