    #34 Healing Isn’t Linear: Why Breakup Recovery Has Ups and Downs

    In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly talks about something that doesn’t get said enough during breakup recovery: healing isn’t linear. You can be doing great. You can feel strong, grounded, and clear and then suddenly have a dip day that makes you question everything. That doesn’t mean you’re back at square one. It doesn’t mean you’ve undone your progress. It means you’re human. Kelly explores the emotional rollercoaster that can come with healing after a breakup, why bad days are part of the process, and how emotional resilience is built through allowing yourself to feel- not suppressing it. She shares practical advice on coping with emotional dips, recognising triggers and avoiding impulsive decisions when you’re feeling vulnerable. The episode also includes a listener’s story about walking away from a relationship that looked “good on paper,” highlighting the strength it takes to choose yourself, even when nothing dramatic has happened. This episode is a reminder that progress isn’t about never struggling again. It’s about learning how to navigate the hard days with self-compassion instead of self-criticism. 📧 Share your story for the “Where Is She Now?” segment: info@kellyskoaching.com📲 Follow Kelly on Instagram & TikTok: @kellyskoaching🔗 Explore all links & resources: Linktree

    #32 Rebranding Your Life After a Breakup (Without Forcing a Glow Up)

    In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly explores how a breakup, as painful as it is, can become a powerful turning point for personal growth. Instead of rushing to “move on” or forcing a glow-up, Kelly invites listeners to see a breakup as an opportunity to consciously rebrand their life. The episode focuses on identity after a relationship, how to reconnect with who you are outside of a partnership & how to decide who you want to become next. Kelly also responds to a listener dilemma about seeking closure after a long-term relationship, unpacking why closure often isn’t something an ex can give you, but something you can create for yourself. This episode is a gentle but empowering reminder that healing doesn’t have to be dramatic or rushed. Sometimes, it’s about small, intentional changes, protecting your energy, and choosing yourself again- one step at a time!

    #31 How the Victim Mindset Keeps You Stuck After a Breakup

    In this solo episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly tackles a difficult but necessary topic: the victim mentality after a breakup. Kelly explains the difference between being hurt and staying stuck. While pain, betrayal, and grief are completely valid responses to heartbreak, allowing those experiences to become your identity can quietly keep you trapped in the past. This episode explores how a victim mindset can show up after a breakup — and how it can block healing, confidence, and future relationships. Kelly breaks down the signs that you may be stuck in this mindset, including replaying the same breakup story, feeling powerless about your future, and unconsciously keeping your ex at the center of your life. With honesty and compassion, she challenges listeners to take responsibility for what happens next — not by dismissing their pain, but by refusing to let it define them. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing requires self-awareness, courage, and choice. Your breakup can be a turning point — but only if you decide to move forward. 🔗 Links & Resources 📧 Share your story for the Where Is She Now? segment: info@kellyskoaching.com📲 Follow Kelly on Instagram & TikTok: @kellyskoaching🔗 Explore coaching, episodes & resources: Linktree

    #30 Male Loneliness, Modern Dating & Why Blaming Women Misses the Point

    In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly unpacks the growing conversations around declining birth rates, the so-called “male loneliness epidemic,” and the way responsibility for these societal issues is often unfairly placed on women. Kelly explores how modern relationships have fundamentally changed — particularly as women are no longer financially dependent on men and are increasingly prioritising emotional fulfillment, self-worth, and personal growth. Rather than rushing into relationships or settling after breakups, many women are choosing to heal, reflect, and raise their standards — leading to healthier partnerships in the long run. This episode challenges the narrative that women are “too picky” or anti-men, and instead reframes the conversation around emotional intelligence, maturity, and mutual effort in modern dating. Kelly also speaks directly to men, encouraging emotional accountability, self-reflection, and therapy as part of the solution — rather than blame. A thought-provoking episode that ties together breakups, dating culture, and the broader societal shifts shaping relationships today. Women are no longer financially dependent on men — and that has changed dating dynamics. Many breakups are happening because women are choosing happiness over settling. Wanting emotional intelligence and maturity is not “being too picky.” Healing after a breakup leads to healthier long-term relationship choices. The male loneliness epidemic cannot be solved by blaming women. Emotional growth and self-work are essential for modern relationships. Therapy and emotional support should be normalised for men. Independence does not mean anti-relationship — it means intentional partnership. 🔗 Links & Resources 📧 Share your story for the Where Is She Now? segment: info@kellyskoaching.com📲 Follow Kelly on Instagram & TikTok: @kellyskoaching🔗 Explore all links & resources: Linktree

    #29 Help, I Broke No Contact - Now What?

    Breaking no contact after a breakup can feel overwhelming, shame-inducing, and emotionally destabilising — but it’s also incredibly common. In this episode of The Breakup Debrief, Kelly gently unpacks what it really means when you break no contact, why it happens, and how to regain your footing without spiralling or beating yourself up. Kelly reframes no contact as a tool for healing, not a test of strength, and explores the emotional triggers that often lead to reaching out — from loneliness and alcohol to nostalgia and nervous system dysregulation. She offers grounded, practical advice on what to do after you’ve sent the message, how to stop the follow-up spiral, and how to re-establish boundaries that protect your peace. This episode is a compassionate reminder that healing is not linear, slips don’t erase progress, and self-discipline grows through self-understanding — not self-punishment. Whether you’ve just broken no contact, you’re tempted to, or you’re trying to stay strong, this episode will help you respond with clarity, calm, and self-respect. ✨ Key Takeaways Breaking no contact is common — it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. No contact is a tool for emotional regulation and healing, not a punishment. One message does not require a follow-up message. Silence is a response — and it deserves to be respected. Alcohol can lower boundaries and increase emotional impulsivity. Understanding why you reached out helps prevent repeating the pattern. Healing isn’t linear — compassion matters more than perfection. Journaling can help process urges and emotional triggers. Protecting your peace means recommitting to boundaries. It’s okay to seek support if you feel stuck in a cycle. 🔗 Links & Resources 📧 Share your story for the “Where Is She Now?” segment:info@kellyskoaching.com 📲 Follow Kelly on Instagram & TikTok:@kellyskoaching 🔗 Explore all links & resources:Linktree
