About this episode
The episode provides a workshop-style reflection on whether to text an ex, including five key questions to consider before reaching out.
In today's solo episode, I'm walking you through a workshop-style reflection meant to help you pause before texting your ex. I share five key questions to ask yourself any time you feel that urge to reach out, whether it's wanting to send an innocent meme or a long, heartfelt message. We explore the deeper motives behind wanting to contact your ex, the likelihood of getting the response you hope for, and how it might impact your healing journey. I also talk about being emotionally prepared for any outcome—especially the possibility of disappointment or no response at all—and encourage you to apply the same advice you'd give a friend. This episode is designed to give you practical tools and a sense of empowerment as you navigate those tough moments post-breakup.
