Breakup Coach Dorothy
About this episode

If you've been saying "I'm so overwhelmed" about your breakup, whether it's the grief, the urge to text them, or starting over… this episode is about to change everything. Dorothy exposes how that one word secretly convinces your brain you can't handle what's happening and gives you a simple, powerful switch that rewires your response in real time. You'll learn the one-word hack that turns panic into presence, helps you move instead of spiral, and proves that you're far more capable than your mind wants you to believe. If you've felt like you're drowning in the breakup waves, this is the episode that teaches you how to swim.
