Girls Night #284: How to Recover From a Breakup (and Find your Spark Again!) — with Dr. Morgan Cope

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! Today we’re talking about how to heal, move forward, and find your spark again after a rough breakup. We're mainly focusing on romantic relationships, but honestly, these tips can apply to any meaningful relationship that's ended - whether that's with a friend, a family member, or even a job. So, if you're looking to rediscover your passions and purpose and overall sense of self after a tough split, you're in the right place! Our guest for today’s episode is my new friend, Dr. Morgan Cope. Dr. Morgan is a relationship scientist and Assistant Professor of Psychology at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. She studies how people's sense of self is changed by romantic relationships. Her research investigates how breakups affect people’s identity, as well as how to recover and avoid breakup pitfalls after relationships end.  Morgan is amazing. I so wish I had had her as a resource the gazillion times I got my heart broken over the years.
