What's it about?

Sex & Relationships

Let's face it—breakups are tough, even for those who did the breaking-up. However, they also present opportunities for growth and a renewed outlook on love. So how do you make sure your breakup is something you learn from? No matter the current stage of your post-breakup journey, this collection will help you rewrite your breakup story, take comfort in your heartache, and gain inspiration to move on with self-love, confidence, and hope.

The Baggage Reclaim Sessions
Have you ever found yourself going around in circles, trying to understand why someone never got back to you after saying they would? When someone gives us a hint, it opens a loop—and it’s only natural to want to somehow close it, so that we can get a satisfactory resolution and move on. However, a common mistake is thinking we can do that by controlling the outcome, rather than accepting that sometimes the end is simply different than what we hoped for. In this episode, Natalie explains why we get stuck in these "story loops" and what you can do to close them, without having to wait for the other person to turn around and do it for you.

Breakup Silver Linings
The Baggage Reclaim Sessions
A breakup is the process by which we end a relationship—it’s also an incredibly painful experience, and one that we can get lost in if we’re not careful. So, what does it all mean? A breakup doesn’t mean you’re inadequate and incapable of love. But, a breakup does mean you need something different and there is more out there for you. Join Natalie as she shatters breakup illusions and prepares you for a brighter future that is more aligned with you and your needs.

Your Breakup Story
The Baggage Reclaim Sessions
Breakups are tough, but we don’t need to endlessly punish ourselves for what we already went through. In part 2 of this breakup series, Natalie explores how you can tell your breakup story in a different way—one that honors your experience and gives you the closure you deserve. The more we spin yarns around past relationships, telling tales of our own failure and inability to love, the more we sabotage future opportunities for intimacy. By telling your breakup story, and telling it again, you'll be brought closer to a place of healing and self-learning.

Simplify Shortcast
Getting over heartbreak isn’t just a matter of waiting it out. There are practical things (beyond ice cream, weeping, and time at the gym) that you can do to get better. Just as a broken bone needs a cast, or a cut needs a bandage, your heart is no exception. This episode will give you an emotional first aid kit with advice from psychologist and TED speaker Guy Winch, so that you can approach your own very human heartbreak—and those of the people you love—with greater empathy and practicality.
