ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hey friends! Welcome to Girls Night!
At the moment we’re in between seasons here on the show. But while we’re waiting for our next official season to begin, we thought this would be a great time to pull some of our favorite episodes out of the Girls Night archive. This is the perfect time to catch up on episodes you might have missed, or listen again to old favorites.
Our guest for today’s episode is my dear friend, Kait (Warman) Tomlin. Kait is a speaker, a writer, and the host of the Heart of Dating podcast. Kait’s actually been with us on the show before. I just love her so much and I knew we had to have her back!
Today we’re chatting about a topic that I know I struggled with like CRAZY throughout the years. We’re talking about how to move forward after a breakup.
Kait has so much wisdom in this area, and such a passion for helping women through it, and I’m so glad because this is so important. Kait is going to teach us what it looks like to grieve and process a breakup in a healthy way (and what can happen if we don’t).
She’s going to talk us through what it looks like to actually let go of someone we’ve loved so that we can move on and be ready to love someone new. And speaking of loving someone new, she’s going to help us recognize how to know when we’re ready to step into a new relationship.
I loved our conversation and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Past Girls Night episode with Kait:
Girls Night #40: How to date without fear of rejection
Girls Night #81: A New Perspective on Preparing for Marriage and Praying for Your Future Husband
Girls Night #115: How to Heal and Move Forward After You’ve Been Rejected
Girls Night #137: How to Invest in Your Future Marriage and Your Single Life at the Same Time
Girls Night #152: The Reason you Might be Missing Out on Your Person
Three coping myths:
+ Focusing on what-if's (increases self-blame)
+ Needing to know the why it happened (focus more on what you can do to move forward)
+ Needing to have closure from that person
Questions to help you decide if you're ready to date again:
+ When your ex's name comes up, how do you react?
+ Do you like yourself and your life as it is right now?
+ If rejection hits again, do you believe you're strong enough to withstand it?

Renewed hope and JOY for the future awaits. Total confidence and UNSHAKEABLE self love is possible. You can feel SEEN and fully understood and supported.
