ABOUT THIS EPISODE


Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

I’m so excited to be back for Season 16 of the Girls Night podcast — and to kick off this season we’re doing something a little different. Since registration for my course Love Your Single Life is opening back up in just a few weeks, I thought it would be fitting to revisit a few of the amazing Girls Night episodes we’ve had over the years all having to do with singleness and dating. 

To start, we’re going all the way back to episode 7 of the podcast to a conversation I had with my best friend, Michelle. In this conversation, we talk about breakups — how to make it through a breakup, and how to put your heart back together!

Michelle and I have both been through our fair share of breakups (more than our fair share, I think), and we’ve learned so much along the way: What to do, what not to do, what helps, what doesn’t, things that comforted us along the way, things that helped us get over it, and more. Best of all, we’re going to be talking about God’s redemption in all of this — how He’s able to transform these broken pieces of our lives into something positively beautiful.

He’s done that in our lives, and we KNOW He wants to do that in yours too.

One thing I wanted to say before we jump in is that I know lots of y’all have been through hard breakups, but I also know that some of you may have broken hearts in different ways. Maybe you just lost a job or had a falling out with a friend. Maybe you’re mourning the death of a dream or even a loved one. Well — in this episode we’re going to be talking about breakups from relationships, but these ideas and principles apply to so many different types of broken hearts. So regardless of what you’re going through right now, I'm so glad you’re here.

My prayer is that this conversation brings you so much comfort as you know you’re just not alone in what you’re going through, peace as you’re reminded that you WILL make it through, and hope as you get to see that God NEVER leaves things broken for long.
