How to Get Over Your Ex

Dorothy Johnson knows what it feels like when a long-term relationship ends and the standard advice of "just give it time" does absolutely nothing. After her own breakup with a partner of seven years, right as they were both launching their careers, she realized most breakup advice was either too vague or too simplistic to actually help. So she combined her psychology background with life coaching certification and built this podcast around concrete, step-by-step recovery. The show stands apart because Dorothy comes in with actual how-to frameworks rather than generic encouragement. She gives you reframes for the painful stories your mind keeps telling, walks you through why you cannot stop checking your ex's social media, and explains the neuroscience behind why heartbreak literally hurts. Her episodes break down complex emotional processes into manageable steps that you can start using immediately. Dorothy's empathy comes through clearly. She has been where her listeners are, and that shared experience gives her advice a weight that purely academic approaches lack. She does not talk down to you or pretend she has all the answers. Instead, she offers tools and perspectives and trusts you to apply them in your own way. Some longer-term listeners have noted that recent episodes occasionally lean toward promoting her coaching program, which is worth knowing going in. But the core content, especially the earlier catalogue, is packed with genuinely useful insights. If you are the kind of person who needs a clear roadmap rather than just emotional support, Dorothy's structured approach might be exactly what clicks for you.
