In this episode, I share my perspective three years later and talk about the emotions that come with watching someone you once loved build a long-term relationship with someone else.

This is an honest conversation about healing, acceptance, and how life can evolv...
There’s a quiet pain in feeling like life has moved on without you. In this episode, I talk about what it’s like to be left while everyone around you seems to be moving forward.

This episode is about coping mentally and physically when comparison hits, when your world feels paused, and when you’re just trying to find your footing again. If you feel left behind,...

This episode is for anyone who made it to Christmas after a breakup and is wondering why it still feels a little unsteady. I talk about why Christmas can bring emotions back up even when you’ve been healing, why missing someone doesn’t mean you want them back, and why this season isn’t a setback — it’s a pause that reveals how much you’ve actually grown. This isn’t surface-level breakup advice or forced positivity. It’s grounding, honest reframes for navigating Christmas when life looks diffe...
After a breakup, it’s not the ending that shapes you it’s the decisions you make next. In this episode, I talk about the quiet, everyday choices that either keep you stuck or slowly set you free. The boundaries you set, the habits you build, the thoughts you stop entertaining, and the version of yourself you choose to become when no one is watching. This one is about taking your power back, choosing growth over comfort, and trusting that the life you’re building after heartbreak can be even s...

Expect unconventional rituals, zero boring advice, and mindset shifts that help you step into your strongest, most future-focused self. Want More Like This...

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about the deeply personal journey of rebuilding my self-worth after being broken down by someone I loved.

Every year I do a birthday episode. This year has been interesting and hard but I have managed to reflect on why its been a tough year.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means when someone blocks you the confusion, the silence, and the way it can shake your sense of worth.

This Halloween, I’m not talking about ghosts, I’m talking about something scarier: being with the wrong person. In this episode, I open up about what it feels like to be used, overlooked, and underappreciated and why that’s so much more haunting than being single. Because being single isn’t the fear. Losing yourself in someone who doesn’t value you is. Want More Like This - https://stan.store/Loula My New Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/move.with.lou/ Join Us on Patreon - ...
