    Finding hope
    It wasn’t until the ripe old age of 38 that I truly discovered love. Unfortunately it was a love that was unavailable, and while a long “half-relationship” blossomed from it, ultimately the situation transpired as such that it was over in one unexpected text…and I was left REELING. As part of a way to mollify my distraught mind, I eventually sought out breakup podcasts. I had cycled through a few other shows before this one and while they were useful for a bit, at the end of the day they felt more like seminars or commercials rather than discussions. On the other hand, Janice handles every topic with experience, verisimilitude and grace - she has a manner about her that I can relate to. If I were to categorize this podcast in one word, it would be *real*. The whole package gives me hope and confidence that I will break this dark spell of heartbreak; this show has bailed me out of some really dark days during my process. Highly recommended!

    Heartbroken
    I wanted to share that your podcast definitely helped me a bit. Four days ago my girlfriend broke up with me completely out of the blue. We had planned to move in together at the end of the summer, and I had already started moving my things into her place. We have met each other’s families, and told each other that we were completely in love. Everything seemed really great. Thank you again for helping, and giving me some tips on how to heal. ❤️
  • Hstarr86
    Helping me process my break up.
    Your podcast is so informative. You hit so many topics that are so helpful is navigating through this time. You’ve helped me realize that it is normal to feel what I’m home through and I am allowed to take this time to grieve and work on a stronger relationship with myself. I started listening to you yesterday and today was the first day I didn’t cry in weeks.
  • Kel💛
    Amazing advice and truly a lifesaver for me! ♥️
    I love this podcast and Janice! I started listening last year after going through a very traumatic and devastating breakup💔 I learned there are not very many places to turn when you go through a breakup and you feel so isolated. Because we all feel so alone or sometimes uncomfortable accepting it, it is such a blessing this podcast exists. This podcast has been such a huge part of my healing journey and a true life changer. The empathy and compassionate tone of this podcast alone makes it unique as you almost feel you are listening to a friend talk to you. I feel so motivated, inspired and greatful from the first time I hit play to now. I was inspired by it to get coaching with Janice and move forward and it’s the best decision I ever made. Thank you Janice for creating this podcast to let people know they are not alone after a devastating breakup ❤️‍🩹 To all future listeners hit play you truly won’t regret it.
  • Ishmael1975
    Love this podcast and Janice
    I’ve been listening to this podcast and working with Janice for the past few months, and I have to say she has helped me immensely. I love the inspirational stories, the practical advice, and her empathy in general. I highly recommend, and if you need a personalized listening ear, she’s got you!
  • Scottyfknows
    Raw, Real,
    Janice is so much more than a breakup coach. She’s vulnerable, self-aware, and clearly committed to connecting and sharing her own experiences, ups/downs, and misteps with her audience to make the world better! 🙌🙏
  • Wayfarer Dave
    Insightful and Beautifully Vulnerable
    Janice’s podcast on her recent breakup reflected her tremendous sensitivity, willingness to be vulnerable, and also demonstrated her commitment to walking her own talk! Kudos to a well-down episode and to Janice’s professionalism in the face of her own life and relationship falling apart for the moment. She is leading the way for others to pick up the pieces and she provides practical tips for getting back on track with mending their hearts and moving back into a life of abundance and joy.
  • That Girl The Podcast
    I’m saving this episode!
    Janice recently did an episode on her own breakup. Her candid vulnerability made me feel so seen and her five lessons of what to know after your breakup were priceless. I’m definitely saving this episode!
  • Lollylunkhead
    Great Show
    Janice helps with all the feels and logistics of breakups, moving on, and avoiding the backslide. Love her show!
  • Barry Selby
    What your heart needs when it hurts
    Not just another dating podcast, Janice’s approach and care speaks to the wounded heart of those who want to heal before they date again.
  • Lakewood21
    Professional and Caring
    I have had the pleasure of meeting Janice and her genuine care for helping people navigate the highs and lows of relationships drives her professional approach to creating such an impactful podcast. So much of what she talks about can be applied to relationships in all areas of someone’s life. Keep letting your light shine Janice!!
  • lilmisjoy
    A lifesaver!
    Janice and her podcast are literally a lifesaver if you’re going through a breakup. It can be such a lonely time dealing with heartbreak, but this show has made me feel less alone and so understood. Thank you for everything you do, Janice!
  • Kj8965
    The gospel
    As someone who has made all the mistakes and took a little longer than most, this podcast has been the best friend who always has new perspectives and solid research, and never gets tired of rehashing. There are several episodes that I repeat anytime I need them. I appreciate how well researched and thought out the topics are, and they cover a wide variety of topics, all of which apply at various points throughout the process. Most of all, I appreciate that the show gives tangible action items and techniques to apply
  • hardcandyxmas89
    Informed, inclusive, and inspiring.
    Janice really knows her stuff. She does a lot of research, covers topics relevant to people in all walks of life on all different journeys and she always encourages people to be more. Definitely recommended
  • Nick Kidawski
    Great shows!
    Really great episodes, Janice! I listened to #85 Our 5 Favorite Healing Practices and #141 Self-love after a breakup. I totally agree with the practices of not holding onto your emotions and feeling them instead and agree that trauma lives in the body...and can be healed. Keep up the great episodes :)
  • Roapple123
    It's my therapy
    I was really stuggling after my divorce when I found this podcast. It's helping me immensely. Every stage I'm at there are multiple eposides to choose from. Thank you Janice, your Podcast has been a huge part of my healing journey.
  • fhb2019
    I am loving it!
    I just found out about this podcast and I am loving it. It is very useful. I would like to see some input about co-parenting boundaries from the partner perspective though. Thanks.
  • Kelsey Dani
    All episode 💜💜💜
    Janice, I am so grateful for your podcast! It always helps to listen to humanize whatever I’m going through, breakup or not. Thank you so much for creating this space! 💜
  • Hurdles10
    Unexpectedly refreshing!
    I came across this podcast the day of a breakup, and have since been amazed how much each episode has helped me so much in the healing journey. As a new podcast listener, it continues to be refreshing to finally put words to all the range of emotions that I am going through. Between the good vibes, affirmations, and relatability, I thoroughly recommend this podcast to anyone as they continue to rebuild and heal.
  • gibsongirl13
    So informative.
    Thanks for a great podcast, it’s been so informative on many different topics but I recently went through a break up and having listened to several of your episodes in the past, really helped me see a different perspective on the break up. Keep up the good work!
  • Kr5is
    Crucial Listening No Matter Your Relationship Status
    Insightful, motivational, provocative, modern, and inspiring!! This podcast excels at those amazing qualities and then some. The host, Janice, is extremely knowledgable, wise and you can tell she has her finger on the pulse of modern dating, breakups, and caring about yourself. This is a must listen for anyone who is single, in the middle of a breakup, or even in a relationship. The most recent episodes have been focusing on sexual health awareness month, which has been a feast of wonderful discussions, observations, and learning. Tell your friends about it too!
  • Blueblueblueblueblue :)
    Wow so addictive
    This is one of the best podcasts ever!!! I’ve learned so much :) thank you!
  • Mightyizer
    So Awesome
    I currently started a new relationship, and the insights this podcast has given me have been so amazingly helpful. I really have appreciated all this podcast has done for me.
  • Vidiot222
    So helpful
    After listening to Janice and Claire I’ve been shocked at how much information and advice they give that is accurate and that I can act on. My divorce was particularly brutal with a generous helping of cruelty. Not only was I able to pull myself out of what felt like a black hole of grief I’m ready to face my healing journey and know I can listen to the episodes specific to what I’m going through at the time. Cannot give them enough stars. They are the best!
  • this is the one!!
    This is the one !!
    This podcast is so relatable I can’t tell you how many times you will be listening and you will say ohhhhh that’s me or ohh that was toxic or oh my goodness I deserve so much better. Claire and Janice both bring so much to the podcast table they help you process and break down all sorts of different things about you’re relationship all the while helping you build and empower yourself! I’m still deep dark in my sadness of my break up but every morning on my way to work I can’t wait for my coffee and this podcast! It give me something to look forward too it gave me a reason to get up and go on in my day! I suggest no matter where you are in you’re break up or life you tune in to these two wonderful ladies!
  • KaciC123
    Love this podcast!
    This is such a great podcast. Claire and Janice give such good advice, and I love how they focus on building your best life and loving where you’re at instead of putting the focus on external circumstances (like other people). They have really helped me to heal after a difficult breakup. 💕
  • Zeldalolazola
    Ep. 79 helped me with being stuck
    Sometimes it’s just hard to get unstuck in a relationship. Sometimes it takes time. This episode helped remind me of ways in which my own thinking is keeping me stuck. It’s hard to make the changes selected by the authors, but I appreciate having these this resource to keep plugging away at it. Well there is no magic one that will make me feel better right now, hearing these positive messages from this podcast and the helpful reminders is one of my baby steps that will get me where I want to go. The only thing I would add is just reminding people that it takes time. And that there isn’t necessarily a timetable. Everyone heals at their own pace. I would emphasize that it’s just a process. And that if you are doing the steps you will get there. Just keep doing them. Trust the process. And you will get better. It may not be today. You may not feel it right now. But keep doing the steps and eventually you will notice your progress. People like me who are stuck just really need to hear the hopeful messages. That you will get there. But you will not stay stuck forever. And I really appreciated the helpful message about looking forward to my future self. My future self that will be having much more fun and be much more happier and be a more rich person. Rich emotionally I mean. Also I love the idea of being the cool aunt who’s been all over the world and had all kinds of crazy affairs. I thought that was a fantastic vision of what self-love can look like. Thank you very much.
  • BCM314
    Thank you!
    This podcast helps me a lot. When I start to feel like I’m losing direction of my thoughts with respect to the progress of my break-up, and moving forward, I always happen to find the perfect words and affirmations through these episodes that gives me strength and validation of my journey. Thank you very much, ladies.
  • mynameisreallynotshellu
    I love you ladies!
    I just listened to your most recent episode about meeting people in the wild and enjoyed it so much! Your content covers so many important topics for those that are working on themselves and navigating though the single life ❤️
  • Itzelsaraih
    These women are empowering!
    I have been listening to this podcast for a couple of weeks now, and their advice and words of encouragement are doing the work! Thank you for your dedication to help others feel confident and strong after a breakup. Thanks to you all, I feel good about myself and to focus on myself before going back to dating. Before I would feel just lonely and want company, but hearing this podcast has truly made me reflect on so much! 💕
  • Cutiepie :D
    So helpful and healing
    I’m so glad that I stumbled onto this podcast because it has been so helpful and healing for my breakup journey. I really feel like I would’ve handled my breakup so poorly without this podcast, but because I’ve been listening to it, I’m really proud of the work ive done. I recommended it to my friend who went through a breakup about the same time as me and she loves it too! Will continue listening and recommending it to all of my friends. It’s also great for general dating advice and improving your self-esteem!
  • el_grac
    Breakup Report!
    My ex and I called it quits in July. I was incredibly heartbroken. My long time friend was going through a breakup too and recommended this podcast to me. I’ve been listening to about an episode a day since August. I’m still healing, but I think listening has helped so so much. Thank you Clair and Janice for all the advice. I appreciate you both dearly and will share this podcast with all of my friends who may go through heart ache.
  • Coolio1789
    Best Break-up support you can get
    Clair and Janice are saints, not only are there podcasts super informative, but they also have a support group community on Facebook where you can post and interact with others going through what you are going through and they also offer coaching one on one. I have related so much to almost everything they say and has really opened my eyes to what to expect out of my first huge break-up, and how to handle it!
  • Swany102921
    Episode 69 - Boundaries!
    Janice and Clair, I just listened to this episode and it was just perfect for how I’ve been feeling about not just romantic relationships but also family and friends. I have always been a people pleaser and had very lose boundaries. I can now see how the first step is identifying what I am comfortable with and what I’m really not. Great job and that you for this awesome episode.
  • Lindsey_R_d
    Thank you Janice and Claire!
    This podcast has helped me, and continues to help me along my healing journey. I love how these lovely women deliver the message and cover so many layers, from the pain...to moving on. It’s clear that they are educated in this area and passionate about what they do. I love the tools that they have given me to improve myself along the way. It’s reassuring to know that you are not alone during heartbreak. Thank you Janice and Claire for everything that you’re doing!
  • ksaav
    Helpful and insightful podcast!
    Listening to this podcast has helped me heal from my most recent breakup. Janice and Clair are breakup coaches who not only share their personal stories, but also offer great tips and advice about relationships and how to heal from heartbreak. Highly recommend!
  • Calif guy
    Great resource for healing and growing
    Janice & Clair are genuine, compassionate, vulnerable, and just plain fun. I enjoy this podcast and recommend it wholeheartedly!
  • skull8110
    PEACEFUL & UPLIFTING
    I’ve really enjoyed the 10-day no contact episodes the last week & a half. Even though they’re about breakups, it’s put me into a powerful mindset, ready to take on anything! I can’t wait to see what’s next for this show! 💜
  • Italy8301
    The help I need
    I’m new to the show, however, the first few episodes and the 10 day no contact challenge has been immensely helpful. I can’t wait to continue listening and get the help I need right now. Thank you so much ladies! ❤️
  • trav.patt
    Great podcast for anyone!
    This is a great podcast not only for breakups, but also for every day life. Not only do they bring up common obstacles you may face, but they also go over the why behind the what. On top of this they are very entertaining and easy to listen to. Check it out!!!!!!
  • dawson1742
    I absolutely need this!
    I can’t thank you enough ladies! To hear your perspective on so many situations is refreshing. You have helped me so much!
  • AnjellyT87
    Thankful for these ladies and their experiences ❤️
    I started listening to this podcast after going through a serious breakup and when I tell you it got me through some ish , it really did. I had never experienced this and I decided to look for some self help when I came across this podcast. Talk about spot on at the right time! I have been busy relocating but can’t wait to keep on listening! I am no longer heart broken but rather focused on myself and I owe it all to the girls! Thank you for being the light in the dark times! I have since recommended this to other friends of mine whom I know would benefit as much as I did and maybe more!
  • eseggy
    Like having friends to lift you up!
    Went through a pretty bad breakup and found this podcast… I cannot express how HELPFUL these two were in the healing journey :’) it feels as if you’re hanging out with the girls all while helping you feel like you aren’t alone in the break up world!! I’ll continue to listen even after the healing is done! Thanks so much <333

    This podcast is such an incredible resource for anyone going through a breakup of any kind. It can be so hard to move through that type of transition and Janice and Claire are such empathetic and wise resources! Highly recommend!
  • Msyoccie
    A podcast I never knew how much I needed
    I want to thank you for starting this podcast. Newly broken up from 9 year relationship with too many speak and far more valleys. My first listen was you can love someone and still not be with them and thank you. I will continue to listen And know there are stories and strength in this! I need to heal and no longer block my own blessings
  • Whittles2577443
    Fantastic support and so fun
    These ladies are truly great. The support they offer to those going through the emotions and process of ending a relationship is so valuable. They bring positive energy and great advice and their personalities just make you want to stay and heal and hang out.
  • wfw0005
    Break up gurus!!
    I am so thankful for these women. Recently went through a break up and really felt like I needed to work through so many points that they have covered! They make so many excellent suggestions that really help you work through the hard times. This show helped me escape that black hole of a broken heart and live life more intentionally. Thank you! I’m still listening! I also keep coming back to old episodes that I’ve already heard when I feel progress plateauing. Take some time for yourself and listen up!
  • AsmoChosen78
    How to contact for private coaching?
    Love this show and going through a break up myself...would like to contact you guys about one on one coaching but I don’t have Instagram...do you a website or any other way to contact you?
  • StonksGoBrrrrr
    The best relationship/breakup podcast
    I really like these girls! They’re insightful and entertaining and actually help. And even though they offer coaching, they don’t spend the whole podcast pushing it on you. Just listening to the podcast will help you reframe the way you think about relationships & your self.
