The Break-Up Diet
Living With Your Ex After a Breakup
This week, we're talking about one of the hardest breakup situations I can imagine... living with your ex.
If you've ever found yourself trying to heal while still sharing a home with the person who broke your heart, you'll know just how confusing it can be. One minute you're crying in your room, the next you're bumping into them in the kitchen pretending everything's fine. It can make moving on feel almost impossible.
In this episode, I'm sharing the biggest mistakes I think people make when they're living with an ex after a breakup, from slipping back into old relationship routines and overanalysing every little interaction, to why boundaries aren't just important... they're essential. I also talk about the things that will genuinely help you protect your peace, start letting go, and remind your brain that this chapter won't last forever.
If you're currently in this situation, or you're counting down the days until one of you finally moves out, I really hope this episode makes you feel a little less alone. It might not feel like it right now, but I promise there is life on the other side of this, and one day you'll have your own space, your own routines, and your peace back.
I hope this episode gives you the comfort, reassurance and little reality check you need if you're navigating one of the toughest parts of heartbreak. đ¤

26. Maybe Feeling THIS BAD Isn't Normal. ft Olympia Anley
25:59||Season 2, Ep. 26This week I'm joined by Olympia Anley and honestly... this conversation made me question SO many things I thought were completely normal.Because why are so many of us walking around feeling exhausted, stressed, bloated, overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out and just generally a bit "off"... and acting like it's completely fine?Olympia shares how she went from living the typical university lifestyle of constant nights out, hangovers and ignoring every warning sign her body was giving her, to completely transforming her health and becoming obsessed with wellness, longevity and feeling her best.We talk about the surprising symptoms that made her realise something wasn't right, why so many women have become disconnected from their bodies, and how we often normalise feeling tired, inflamed and burnt out when our bodies might actually be trying to tell us something.We also get into alcohol, dating sober, burnout, stress, meditation, gut health, hormones, emotional wellbeing and why some of the things we do every single day could be having a bigger impact on our health than we realise.And because this is The Break-Up Diet... we couldn't not talk about relationships. Olympia shares her thoughts on healing after a breakup, why closure doesn't come from your ex, the mistake so many of us make when we're trying to move on, and why constantly looking for answers from someone else can actually keep you stuck for longer.Plus, we talk about learning to trust yourself again, reconnecting with your body, and why feeling your best isn't actually about perfection â it's about finally listening to yourself.This episode is eye-opening, thought-provoking and one of those conversations that will probably have you questioning a few of your own habits afterwards.So if you've ever found yourself saying "I'm just tired", "I'm just stressed", "I need closure", or "I guess this is what being an adult feels like"... this one's for you.đ§ Maybe Feeling This Bad Isn't Normal. ft Olympia Anley
