Yeah... same.This week, Jemima Rhys is back on The Break-Up Diet and we're talking about the situationships that leave you questioning your sanity. You know the ones... they text you every day, meet your friends and family, make future plans with you, act like your boyfriend... and then somehow you're still "nothing."We're sharing our own situationship stories, the guys who gave us just enough to keep us hoping, and why those breakups can hurt even more than losing an actual relationship. We also get into the conversation every girl dreads—"What are we?"—and why asking that question can tell you everything you need to know.If you've ever found yourself overthinking every text, wondering if you were asking for too much, or hoping that if you just waited a little longer he'd finally choose you... this episode is for you.Because the right person will never leave you questioning where you stand. ❤️‍🩹

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. 🤍

This week, I'm so excited to welcome Yasmine Gould back to The Break-Up Diet. Yasmine is a life alchemist who helps people heal unconscious patterns and turn their triggers into transformation, and every time she comes on the podcast, I leave looking at life (and relationships) completely differently.If you've ever questioned whether someone is actually right for you, worried about wasting years in the wrong relationship, or found yourself repeating the same dating patterns, this episode is for you.We talk about what compatibility really means, why chemistry isn't enough, the conversations you should be having much earlier in relationships, emotional maturity, attachment, choosing someone to build a life and family with, narcissistic traits, recognising unhealthy relationship dynamics, and how the patterns we learn in childhood can shape the people we choose as adults.This is one of those conversations that genuinely makes you stop and think, and I know I'll be taking so much of Yasmine's advice into my own life.I really hope you love this one as much as I loved recording it. 💗

This 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 — 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.🎧 Maybe Feeling This Bad Isn't Normal. ft Olympia Anley

This week’s episode is a little different because it’s just me.And honestly… I wanted to record this episode because this time last year I was an absolute MESS.My breakup was still fresh, I was stalking my ex’s following list like it was a full-time job, convincing myself I was fine when I absolutely was not, and genuinely didn’t believe I would ever get over him.Fast forward one year and I can honestly say… I can’t believe I let that man ruin my summer.In this episode I’m talking about everything I wish I knew a year ago, the embarrassing things I did after my breakup that I swore I’d never admit out loud, why checking their social media keeps you stuck, dating before you’re ready, feeling like you’ll never be happy again, and the pressure to have a “hot girl summer” when you’re secretly trying to hold yourself together.We also get into why breakups can make you feel completely lost, grieving the future you imagined together, feeling rejected, comparing everyone to your ex, and the moment I realised I wasn’t actually missing him anymore… I was finally getting myself back.If you’re going through heartbreak right now and feel like you’re never going to be okay again, I promise you this episode is for you.Because one year ago I genuinely thought my life was over.And now? I barely recognise that girl.So if you're currently stalking his followers, replaying old conversations, wondering if you'll ever stop missing him, or feeling like everyone else has moved on except you… grab a drink, get comfy, and let's have a chat. 💌✨🎧 I Can’t Believe I Let That Man Ruin My Summer.

This week I’m joined by Kelly Hunt and GIRLS… this episode is painfully relatable if you’ve ever sat there convincing yourself you were “just overthinking” when deep down you already knew something was off!!We get into relationship anxiety, emotionally unavailable men, attachment styles, checking phones, cheating, women’s intuition, and why some men somehow ALWAYS come back the second you finally start moving on.Kelly opens up about being married to someone she thought was her forever person, getting the infamous “hey girly…” DM, finding out about a secret folder on his phone, and the moment she realised she physically couldn’t keep forcing herself to stay in a relationship that was making her anxious all the time.We also talk about toxic dating patterns, long distance relationships, avoidant men, trying to be the “cool chill girlfriend”, and how easy it is to lose yourself when you spend years trying to make the wrong relationship work.There’s conversations about feeling physically sick waiting for a text back, stalking followings, convincing yourself you’re being “crazy”, and the emotional confusion of loving someone who simultaneously makes you feel insecure, drained, and constantly on edge 😭Honestly this episode feels like one long girls bathroom conversation about modern dating, self-worth, gut feelings, heartbreak, healing, and finally realising that peace in a relationship should never feel this hard to find.Messy, honest, validating, slightly chaotic and VERY real 💌Press play if you’ve ever felt “crazy” in a relationship… and later realised you weren’t 😭

This week’s episode is for the girls who have ever sat there thinking:“am I overthinking… or is this relationship actually making me lose my mind?” 😭I’m joined by Vikki and GIRLS… we get INTO IT.We talk about breakups, attachment patterns, emotionally unavailable men, relationship anxiety, gut feelings, nervous system triggers, and why women ALWAYS seem to know something is wrong before they’re ready to admit it.Because why are we crying, anxious, overthinking everything, losing sleep, and feeling emotionally drained… while simultaneously telling ourselves: “no but he’s actually such a nice guy” 😭We get into relationships that look “fine” on paper but secretly leave you exhausted trying to make them work, plus the difference between anxiety vs intuition — because sometimes your brain is spiralling from past trauma… and sometimes your body is literally trying to warn you.We also talk about no contact, blocking exes, why heartbreak feels like withdrawal symptoms, and how your brain will ALWAYS try to run back to what feels familiar… even when it was terrible for you.There’s also a huge conversation around people-pleasing in relationships, ignoring red flags because you love someone, making excuses for emotionally unavailable people, and how women so often end up becoming collateral damage from men who haven’t healed their own issues.And honestly… some parts of this episode feel like a personal attack 😭Like convincing yourself: “maybe I’m just anxious” “maybe I’m expecting too much” “maybe I just need to calm down”Meanwhile your nervous system is in absolute SHAMBLES every day you’re with them.We also get into healing after heartbreak, learning your non-negotiables, wanting peace instead of chaos, and why the right relationship should feel emotionally safe — not emotionally confusing.This episode is emotional, comforting, self-aware, slightly chaotic, VERY relatable, and honestly feels like one long conversation every girl needs to hear at some point in her life.
