Okay, Now What? - With Kate Gladdin

Kate Gladdin is a resilience speaker and author who titled her podcast after the question most of us ask when life falls apart. Okay, Now What? does not focus exclusively on breakups, but heartbreak and relationship loss are central threads that run through the show. Kate's broader lens on resilience actually makes her breakup episodes stronger, because she connects romantic loss to the larger human experience of setbacks and reinvention. The podcast's core message is that hardship does not have to harden you, and even your worst experiences can bring out something genuinely good. Kate backs this up with real conversations and practical frameworks rather than empty optimism. She talks about the specific mechanics of turning a setback into a comeback: how to process grief without getting consumed by it, how to rebuild your identity when the person you built it around is gone, and how to trust yourself again after a relationship that made you doubt your own judgment. Kate also wrote a book with the same title, and the podcast extends those ideas with fresh interviews and listener stories. She brings on people who have rebuilt their lives after devastating losses, not just breakups but career collapses, health crises, and family fractures. Hearing how others navigated their "now what" moments provides a perspective that pure breakup podcasts sometimes miss. The mental health focus gives the show real substance. Kate does not shy away from talking about anxiety, depression, and the very real psychological toll that major life transitions take. She is also genuinely funny when the moment calls for it, which keeps the show from feeling heavy even when the topics are serious. If you want a breakup podcast that also helps you think about the bigger picture of who you are becoming, this one fits.
