      <description><![CDATA[<p>If your goal after a breakup is to “just move on,” you’re aiming way too low—and settling for a life that hasn’t truly changed.

This pep talk will push you to break old patterns, expand into a bigger identity, and go after the life and love you actually want—not just what feels comfortable.</p>

Sarah challenges the idea that time alone heals, arguing that without identity-level change, you’ll keep repeating the same relationship patterns. She invites listeners to cross the threshold from recovery into full reinvention, choosing growth, self-leadership, and a new standard for love.</p>

      <title>How to stop budgeting your joy and live richly</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>After a breakup, many women don’t just lose the relationship—they shrink their desires and call it “being realistic.” This episode exposes the subtle ways you might be budgeting your joy and lowering your standards in the name of healing. Sarah shares how heartbreak can quietly recalibrate your life around disappointment instead of possibility—and how to shift out of it. You’ll learn the difference between a “fixer-upper life” and a premium life identity, and why self-awareness alone isn’t enough to create change. Plus, an invitation to step back into your power through a bold, playful Truth or Dare challenge designed to get you out of your head and back into your life.</p>

      <itunes:summary>In this interview, host Sarah Curnoles spoke with empowerment coach Morgan Barkus about navigating sexuality and self-confidence after a breakup. Barkus shared her personal and professional journey, which informed her coaching style. The conversation centered on deconstructing the societal shame women often feel about sex, emphasizing the importance of understanding and prioritizing one&apos;s own desires. Barkus provided a three-step framework for reclaiming personal power: cleaning up negative self-talk, auditing media consumption, and moving one&apos;s body in a powerful way. She advocated for self-pleasure as a tool for empowerment and self-discovery and offered practical advice for women to feel sexy and confident while single, concluding with a pep talk on focusing on oneself to attract the right partner.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In this episode, host and life coach Sarah Kernows provides a powerful perspective shift for anyone struggling to navigate the emotional turbulence of a breakup. She challenges the common habit of using &quot;feelings as strategies&quot;—where we act impulsively on emotions like loneliness or anger to get immediate relief—and argues that these feelings are actually just data points from our nervous system. Sarah explains that while emotions are valid messengers, they are not instructions, and reacting to them as emergencies often leads to long-term regret and &quot;emotional constipation.&quot; To reclaim power, she introduces the &quot;24-hour rule,&quot; a mandatory pause that allows individuals to validate their feelings without letting those feelings dictate their behavior. By shifting from emotional reactivity to value-based decision-making, listeners can learn to process their pain without self-sabotage. Ultimately, Sarah encourages her audience to view discomfort as a temporary wave and to start acting as the &quot;healed version&quot; of themselves today.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>If your breakup has you feeling distracted, desperate, or downright unhinged, this episode explains why. I break down the science behind heartbreak — from dopamine withdrawal to cortisol spikes — and show you why your brain is reacting like it’s in physical danger (because biologically, it thinks it is). Drawing on research from University of Michigan, Columbia University, and love researcher Helen Fisher at Stony Brook University, I explain how romantic love activates the brain’s reward system — and why a breakup can feel like withdrawal. But this isn’t just about surviving the pain. It’s about reclaiming your nervous system, rewiring your narrative, and creating a life that’s bigger than chasing a relationship. Your brain isn’t broken — it’s responding exactly as it was designed to. Now you get to decide how you want to rewire it.</itunes:summary>

Sarah breaks down common myths about healing (like distraction, time, and vague self-love advice) and introduces a practical framework for aligning your heart with healing through nervous system safety, mind management, reduced attachment, and a compelling future vision. She closes by inviting listeners to see their breakup as a catalyst for growth, resilience, and a bigger, more purposeful life—and offers one-on-one coaching support to help guide that transformation.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, Sarah sits down with dating and love coach Valerie Adams to unpack why changing your circumstances doesn’t change your dating results—unless you change yourself. Valerie shares how her own struggles with emotionally unavailable partners led her to deep inner work, ultimately attracting her first healthy relationship and building a coaching practice rooted in subconscious healing. Together, they explore why patterns repeat, how beliefs quietly run the show, and why healing after heartbreak is not a delay—but an advantage.

      <title>Breaking Up with 2025 - A process to end the year with power</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this end-of-year episode of <i>Breakup Pep Talks</i>, Sarah guides listeners through a powerful reflection ritual to consciously close out 2025 and prepare for 2026 with clarity and self-trust. Using Terri Cole’s framework, she challenges the belief that a hard year is an empty year and teaches how to separate the <i>gold</i> (growth, resilience, lessons) from the <i>crap</i> (patterns, roles, and stories that no longer serve). Instead of defaulting to resolutions, Sarah invites listeners to look honestly at peak experiences, personal strengths, and unconscious patterns that shaped the year. The episode emphasizes making intentional meaning from heartbreak, failure, and struggle—so those experiences become fuel rather than baggage. Listeners are guided to “break up” with 2025 cleanly and step into 2026 focused on how they want to <i>feel</i>, not who they’re trying to fix.</p><p>Share with Sarah your thoughts on Instagram @sarahcurnoles</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <i>Breakup Peptalks</i>, Sarah Curnoles dives deep into what it truly means to be <i>over your ex</i> and how to get there. She defines being over an ex as no longer being emotionally tied to that person or relationship — feeling free, peaceful, and excited for the future. Sarah explores the subconscious reasons people stay stuck, such as fear of the unknown, loneliness, or clinging to memories for comfort. She explains that suffering comes from resisting reality and that healing begins with one powerful act: <strong>deciding</strong> to let go. Through conscious decisions and new habits, like focusing on yourself twice for every thought about your ex, you reclaim your energy, self-trust, and power. The episode ends with an invitation to declare, “I’m done,” and step into the next chapter of your life with clarity and confidence.</p><p>Join the free Facebook group here: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/howtogetoveryourbreakup" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/howtogetoveryourbreakup</a></p>

      <itunes:summary>In this episode of Breakup Peptalks, Sarah shares why detaching from your ex feels so hard — and why it’s not your fault but your biology. She explains how dopamine, serotonin, and even “emotional muscle memory” keep you hooked, and how to rewire your brain for neutrality instead of obsession. With practical tools like journaling, nourishing routines, and celebrating small wins, Sarah shows you how to unhook from the past and free up your energy for what’s next.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>After a breakup, it’s easy to feel like you’ve lost yourself. For women, that often looks like shame for having given everything to the relationship. For men, it can mean feeling stripped of the pride and roles that defined them as a partner, husband, or father.
In this episode of Breakup Pep Talks, Sarah helps you uncover who you are without external titles or roles. You’ll learn how to separate external identity markers from the gifts that come naturally from within you — and why those unique strengths are the foundation of rebuilding your confidence.
Sarah walks you through practical tools like creating a strengths inventory, logging daily wins, and taking a “curiosity audit” to reconnect with your natural gifts and interests. Think of it as strength training for your identity: every rep helps you become stronger, more grounded, and more you.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Breakups don’t just break your heart — they hijack your nervous system. If you’ve been lying awake at night, replaying every conversation, or struggling to focus at work, you’re not broken. You’re in survival mode.
In this episode, I’ll show you why your body reacts this way after a breakup and share three simple nervous system resets that actually work: a cross-body hug, Navy SEAL box breathing, and quick bursts of movement. These aren’t about being “soft” — they’re about taking back control so you can sleep, focus, and start rebuilding your life.
Listen in, practice one of these tools twice a day this week, and notice how much calmer and stronger you feel.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>The key points are:

The traditional &quot;no contact&quot; approach is not a one-size-fits-all solution, as some people have to continue interacting with their ex-partner. Instead, the speaker recommends the process of &quot;detachment.&quot;

Detachment involves decreasing your desire for the relationship and ex-partner, practicing detachment as an ongoing process, setting boundaries to protect your heart, and creating a vision for an exciting future.

The speaker encourages the listener to make the decision to detach before feeling ready, as this will help move them out of the painful &quot;limbo&quot; state. Helpful techniques include making a list of things you won&apos;t miss about your ex, talking to a &quot;text buddy&quot; instead of reaching out to your ex, and visualizing a positive future.

By taking control of the detachment process, you can move forward in a healthy way after the breakup, rather than getting stuck in obsession and pain.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>The key points are:

Morning and evening routines can provide structure, support, and self-care during difficult times like a breakup. They help regulate mood, emotions, and sleep.
Morning routines should include consistent wake-up times, hydration, gentle physical movement, and mindful activities like reading or journaling. This helps set a positive tone for the day.
Evening routines should focus on winding down, reflection, and preparing for restful sleep. This can include screen time limits, relaxing rituals, and planning for the next day.
Routines should be approached as an experiment, starting small and gradually building consistency. Forgiveness is important if a routine is missed.

      <itunes:summary>In this episode, Sarah Curnoles discusses the importance of self-nourishment over self-care. She emphasizes that self-care can become a checklist of tasks, while self-nourishment is about intentionally connecting with oneself at a deeper level to truly feed the mind, body, and soul. Some key points:

Self-nourishment is about reflecting on what you truly need in the moment, rather than just doing what you think you &quot;should&quot; do.

Signs of lack of nourishment include constant tiredness, inability to rest and restore, and over-consumption behaviors. 

Practicing radical self-nourishment involves slowing down, connecting to the present moment, and doing what feels genuinely good and restorative.

Nourishment may not always be convenient or comfortable, but it is worth prioritizing for long-term wellbeing. 

The viewer is encouraged to identify areas of their life that feel under-nourished and take one small nourishing action today.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>This episode discusses how a breakup can be viewed as a time of transition and an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. The key points are:

A breakup can force you to re-examine who you are and what you want in life, as the future you had envisioned with your partner is now gone. 

Instead of seeing this as a crisis, it can be reframed as an invitation to figure out your true self and values. 

Sarah encourages journaling to reflect on what worked well in the previous relationship and what you never want to repeat, as well as what you liked and disliked about yourself in the relationship. 

This self-reflection can help you release what no longer serves you and realign your life to be more authentic. 

Sarah offers to provide coaching support for those interested in going through this transformative process. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In this episode we discuss the value of having a coach after going through a breakup. 

Going through a breakup can leave people feeling lost and uncertain about their identity and future. Trying to quickly get over it by getting back into dating or numbing the pain often leads to repeating the same relationship patterns. 

A coach can provide an unbiased perspective, help manage emotions and thoughts, teach emotional maturity, and guide the process of evaluating past relationships to learn and grow. This allows you to move forward in a more intentional and empowered way.

Coaching helps build self-trust and the ability to regulate one&apos;s own mind and emotions, making the person more attractive to healthier, more committed relationships in the future. 

The coach&apos;s role is to provide truth and direct feedback, even if it is difficult to hear, in order to help the client make progress and not stay stuck in negative patterns. A coach will see you with love and possibility and help you move towards hope, even when that seems far away.</itunes:summary>
      <itunes:subtitle>In this episode we discuss the value of having a coach after going through a breakup. 

Going through a breakup can leave people feeling lost and uncertain about their identity and future. Trying to quickly get over it by getting back into dating or numbing the pain often leads to repeating the same relationship patterns. 

A coach can provide an unbiased perspective, help manage emotions and thoughts, teach emotional maturity, and guide the process of evaluating past relationships to learn and grow. This allows you to move forward in a more intentional and empowered way.

Coaching helps build self-trust and the ability to regulate one&apos;s own mind and emotions, making the person more attractive to healthier, more committed relationships in the future.

      <itunes:summary>In today&apos;s episode, we discuss the abandonment wound.  In this episode, you&apos;ll hear:
- What the abandonment wound is and how it can manifest, such as through over-attachment, overreaction to small separations, hypervigilance, and self-abandonment [10:52]

- The underlying beliefs that often drive the abandonment wound, such as feeling unlovable, unsafe to depend on others, and needing to earn love [21:43]

- Practical steps to heal the abandonment wound, including cultivating self-awareness, making a commitment to never abandon yourself again, practicing self-forgiveness, and allowing yourself to feel a sense of belonging

The key message that the abandonment wound is not something &quot;broken&quot; that needs to be &quot;fixed&quot;, but rather a natural response that can be healed through self-compassion and new patterns of relating to oneself and others</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In this podcast, Sarah Curnoles discusses strategies for meeting people in real life after a breakup. The key points include:
- Overcoming the myth that all the &quot;good ones&quot; are taken and shifting your mindset to be more open to meeting new people. 
- Addressing inner blocks like internalized pressure, bitterness, and a closed-off heart that can prevent you from making connections.
- Practicing the art of flirting, making small talk, and smiling/making eye contact as ways to initiate low-pressure interactions and build confidence. 
- Taking advantage of everyday opportunities to connect with the people around you, rather than relying solely on dating apps. 
The overall message is to adopt a more playful, present, and socially engaged approach to meeting potential partners in your daily life. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Sarah Curnoles discusses how to determine when &quot;enough is enough&quot; in relationships and other aspects of life. The key points are:

Having a low tolerance for emotional pain and compromising your peace, dreams, or self-respect are signs that you&apos;ve reached your &quot;enough&quot; point.

It&apos;s important to regularly check in with yourself and look for red flags like feeling drained, walking on eggshells, or being overly critical. 

When you reach your &quot;enough&quot; point, it&apos;s better to leave a situation before becoming resentful or burned out, even if it&apos;s difficult. 

Sarah encourages the audience to establish non-negotiables, create support systems, and honor their own integrity when deciding when to end a relationship or situation.</itunes:summary>

Key points include:
- The importance of receptivity - being able to receive compliments, love, and abundance. This requires healing at the nervous system level to feel safe and worthy. 
- How early life experiences and conditioning shape our stories around money and love, and how we can question and reframe these beliefs. 
- How embracing pleasure, joy, and a sense of wholeness is a pathway to greater abundance in both love and money. 
- The need to heal shame and worthiness issues that underlie many financial and relationship challenges.

      <itunes:summary>In this episode, Sarah shares the relationship between money and relationships, and how our emotional patterns and behaviors around each area can be deeply intertwined. The key points are:
- Sarah learned about the concept of &quot;upper limits&quot; - the subconscious limits we place on the amount of good things we feel comfortable having in our lives, whether it&apos;s money, love, or happiness. These upper limits can manifest in self-sabotaging behaviors.
- Sarah shares a personal example of how when she was absorbing new financial information, her body physically reacted by her contact lens getting stuck in her eye, as if her body was resisting the new knowledge. 
- Sarah draws parallels between how people often choose familiar, unhealthy relationship patterns over unfamiliar but healthier ones, just as they may do with money. She emphasizes the importance of feeling safe and secure within yourself in order to make positive changes in both domains.
You can have your own breakthrough in the workshop by her financial mentor Kate Northrup, which helped the speaker have major breakthroughs in how she approaches both money and relationships. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>This podcast episode provides a guide for individuals going through a breakup on how to do a &quot;breakup detox.&quot; The detox covers four main areas:
1. Physical - Remove any immediate visual triggers related to the ex-partner from your environment. 
2. Mental - Become a &quot;detective&quot; of your thoughts, observing them without judgment and guiding yourself away from negative thoughts towards more positive ones. 
3. Emotional - Find ways to actively move and release pent-up emotions, such as scheduling a daily cry, doing gentle yoga, or dancing. [16:24]
4. Social - Evaluate your social support system, including building a team of experts (therapist, coach, etc.) to guide you through the process. 

The overall focus is on bringing your attention back to yourself and what you need during this transition, rather than dwelling on the ex-partner. This detox process is presented as an opportunity for renewal and growth.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>- Sarah shares her own experience with trying a cold plunge, which helped her realize the difference between operating from fear versus being present and in control. This insight relates to common behaviors after a breakup, like going back to an ex out of fear rather than facing difficult emotions. 
- Sarah emphasizes the importance of having a coach or guide to support you through the painful parts of a breakup, rather than trying to handle it alone.  A coach can help you develop tools and resilience to not only get through the breakup, but transform it into the best thing that ever happened. 
- The overall message is that a breakup, while difficult, can be an opportunity for personal growth and building an extraordinary life, if you&apos;re willing to put in the work with the right support. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Sarah Curnoles provides advice for navigating a breakup during the &quot;breakup season&quot; of early spring. The key points are:
1. Have hope that you will be okay, even if it doesn&apos;t feel that way now. Like the changing seasons, the darkness of a breakup will give way to growth and renewal. 
2. Establish routines and structures to provide comfort and stability during this time of change, such as scheduling self-care activities and plans to look forward to. 
3. View the breakup as an opportunity for personal growth and development, using the experience as &quot;fertilizer&quot; to become your best self. 
4. Detox by letting go of parts of yourself that no longer serve you, and focus on who you want to become in the next chapter of your life. 

Sarah also provides free journal prompts to help listeners work through these tips and turn their breakup into a positive transformation. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Weekends can be particularly difficult after a breakup, as they were often times spent with a partner. Sarah advises against either ruminating or distracting/numbing yourself during this time. 

Instead, Sarah recommends getting out of your head and into your body through physical activity and movement, such as going for a walk, doing gentle yoga, or trying a new dance class. This can help release emotions and promote healing.

      <itunes:summary>Sarah discusses the importance of allowing oneself to cry and experience emotions, rather than suppressing or avoiding them. [05:15] She explains the physical and emotional benefits of &quot;good&quot; or therapeutic crying, which allows the release of stress hormones and toxins, compared to &quot;bad&quot; crying driven by self-pity or negative thoughts. [06:09] The speaker encourages listeners to embrace their emotions, give themselves permission to cry without apology, and avoid trying to logic or solve their feelings. [11:45] She suggests scheduling time for emotional release, such as in the shower, and being supportive of others who are expressing their emotions. [12:40] Overall, the speaker advocates for normalizing and destigmatizing crying as a healthy emotional outlet.</itunes:summary>
