The Breakup Debrief Podcast

The Breakup Debrief is exactly what the name promises. Host Kelly H treats each episode like a post-mortem conversation with a friend, the kind you have at a kitchen table a few months after the dust settles. She covers her own split in pieces across the early episodes, and the tone is unfiltered in a way that a lot of breakup shows are not. She talks about the petty parts, like stalking an ex on Instagram at 1am, the weird grief of losing his family, and spending too much money on a haircut you hoped would fix things, alongside the bigger questions about why relationships end and what you owe yourself afterward. Episodes run 30 to 50 minutes. Kelly brings on guests now and then, but most of the catalog is solo, which suits the debrief format. With 40-plus episodes released steadily, the show has had time to find its voice. It will not feel right if you want a clinical or coach-led approach. It will feel right if you want to listen to someone process out loud and make you feel less alone in doing the same. A good pick for the acute phase of a breakup when you just need company.
