The REcovery - Life After Heartbreak

A mother-daughter podcast about heartbreak is not something you see every day, and that unique dynamic is what makes The REcovery special. Vivian Bell, a board-certified biblical counselor and master mental health coach, teams up with her daughter Ciera Burgess to tackle the messy reality of healing from loss. The generational perspective adds a richness that single-host shows cannot replicate. Vivian brings decades of professional counseling experience while Ciera brings a younger voice and different relationship context. The podcast positions itself as a sanctuary for anyone navigating heartbreak, and it delivers on that promise. It is not limited to romantic breakups. Vivian and Ciera also address familial estrangement, friendship losses, and the grief that comes from any severed connection. They talk about setting healthy boundaries (without turning into a fortress), practicing self-love (without the Instagram-filtered version), and walking through forgiveness when you are not sure the other person even deserves it. Their tagline about "finding the good in goodbye" captures the show's philosophy. They are not dismissive of pain, but they are deeply committed to the idea that endings can become beginnings if you let them. Episodes blend personal vulnerability with practical wisdom, and Vivian's counseling background means the advice is grounded in actual therapeutic principles rather than pop psychology. The show has a faith-informed perspective that shows up naturally in the conversation without being preachy. Whether that resonates with you or not, the core relationship advice is universal. Vivian and Ciera create a warm, authentic space that feels like being welcomed into a family kitchen for real talk over coffee.
