How to Cope with a Breakup (Ep. 15)

June 10, 2024

Not every relationship lasts forever, and it’s when a relationship ends that all your self-loving and self-caring will really matter. In this episode, Luke and Pascal draw from their own personal heartbreaks to discuss some ways to cope with a breakup:



  • Experiencing a breakup is a normal grieving process, not a sign of being “broken.”
  • Acceptance is the inevitable end point.
  • Both parties can walk away from a breakup with their self-worth and dignity intact.
  • Avoid blaming yourself or your ex, and focus on questions that lead to growth.
  • Practice self-care and self-compassion during this difficult time.
  • Your worth is inherent as a human being, not defined by others.
  • There are multiple paths to happiness and fulfillment beyond any one relationship.
  • Relationships naturally have an end date, which is not inherently bad.
  • The one constant, permanent relationship is the one you have with yourself.
  • Be patient and compassionate with yourself as you navigate the grieving process.
