You FINALLY meet a guy you actually like… so why are you suddenly looking for reasons to get the ick?! 👀😭

Is he actually giving you the ick, or are you just terrified of catching feelings and getting hurt again?

This week on The Break-Up Diet, I'm joined by psychotherapist Tim Wright to unpack the psychology behind dating, heartbreak, self-sabotage and why moving on isn't always as straightforward as we'd like it to be.

We're talking about why we start nitpicking someone the second we realise we like them, why dating someone new can suddenly make us miss our ex (even when we thought we were SO over him), and why we sometimes struggle to let go of people we know aren't right for us.

We also get into fear of rejection, how our past experiences shape the relationships we choose, why a breakup can leave us questioning our self-worth, how to find closure without speaking to your ex, and why some partners get so defensive when you're simply trying to communicate your feelings.

Because sometimes the problem isn't that you don't like him enough… it's that you like him enough for it to actually scare you. 💔

Whether you're trying to get over your ex, navigating a new situationship, or wondering why you keep pushing away people you genuinely like, this episode might just explain a few things.

Grab your headphones, girls. We're figuring out whether it's really the ick… or just emotional baggage in disguise.🎧💗

Ever dated a man and thought, “He's PERFECT… he just needs to change about 17 things”? 😭🚩

Well, babe, we've got some news for you.

This week on The Break-Up Diet, fan favourite Jemima Rhys is BACK, and she's officially in her healthy relationship era! 💗

After years of dating the wrong men, ignoring red flags and convincing herself that surely he'll change eventually (spoiler: he didn't), Jemima is spilling all the details on what it's actually like to find someone who loves you for YOU.

We're talking about the difference between chemistry and compatibility, why you need to STOP trying to fix men, knowing when to walk away, and how to tell if you've finally met your person.

Plus, we get into jealous boyfriends, men who make snarky comments about your lifestyle, why having things in common matters more than you think, and Jemima's VERY cute story of how she met her new boyfriend in Costa Rica. 🌴💋

Because liking the same food isn't a personality match, babe. We all need to eat. 😭

And the biggest lesson? The right man won't make you feel like you're too much. He'll actually LIKE you exactly as you are.

So grab a wine, get comfy and join us for a proper girls' debrief about bad dating decisions, finally raising your standards and finding a love that doesn't feel like a full-time renovation project. 🥂💕

We've ALL done something embarrassing after a breakup… but how bad was yours? 😭💔

This week on The Break-Up Diet, Josefin Eklund is BACK, and we're having a proper girls' debrief about all the questionable things we do when we're heartbroken.

From stalking your ex and sending back every love letter he's ever written, to dating someone new when you're CLEARLY not over the last one… we've got some confessions to make. 👀

And just when you think the dating stories can't get any crazier, Josefin tells me about a guy who claimed he had cancer when she tried to end things with him. Yes, you read that right.

We're getting into rebound relationships, going back to exes, whether you can EVER really be friends with an ex, the awkwardness of seeing him with someone new, and why forcing yourself to date before you're ready can make everything feel ten times worse.

Plus, we're sharing our personal breakup survival routines — from crying in public and wanting to text him AGAIN to the classic post-breakup revenge glow-up. 💅

Because sometimes getting over someone isn't pretty, and we've all had our moments.

Be honest… what's the most embarrassing thing YOU'VE done after a breakup? 💗
