S3 E6 - The Unexpected Joy of Heartbreak with Rosie Wilby

Knowing When to Quit

Today we're talking about Knowing When to quit relationships. We live in a society which tells us that the hallmark of a good relationship is one that lasts for a long time, but does that mean that we often stay in relationships too long? Today's guest is Rosie Wilby - an award-winning comedian, author, speaker and the creator of global hit podcast and book The Breakup Monologues. Rosie believes that breakups shouldn't be feared, and that there can even be a world of joy and creativity waiting for us on the other side of heartbreak.

In this episode we discuss:

💔 Why people find it so hard to get out of a bad relationship

🏓 The concept of 40-love (meeting your partner post 40)

🎨 How creativity can support in processing a break up and how we're often more creative after a break up

🥰 What we can learn about the poly community about break ups

⏱ Is length of time together always the marker of success?

🖥 The heartache of professional break ups

🎭 Breaking up with the Edinburgh Fringe

💊 Should we use drugs to help us fall out of love?
