About this episode

In this episode, Leanne discusses the exhaustion of dealing with an ex and the importance of recognizing when to prioritize one's own peace over the chaos of a toxic relationship.

There comes a point when “being the bigger person” just feels exhausting. In this episode, I'm talking about that moment when you’re officially fed up with your ex, fed up with the games, the emotional tug-of-war, the unnecessary drama, and the constant feeling that peace is always just out of reach. When every interaction feels even harder than the last, and you start asking yourself… why am I still doing this? I unpack what it really means to hit that wall, the burnout, the frustration, and the quiet realization that sometimes dealing with them costs more than it’s worth. This isn’t about bitterness; it’s about clarity. About recognizing when you’ve had enough and admitting that, sometimes, doing it on your own feels easier, calmer, and healthier than staying stuck in a cycle that never changes. If you’ve ever wished you could just opt out of the chaos and choose yourself instead, this episode is for you.
