Is there a “right” amount of time to wait before starting a new relationship after a breakup? Many people wonder if moving on quickly means they never really loved their ex, or if taking “too long” means they’re stuck in the past. In this episode, we unpack the psychology of relationship transitions with a focus on healing, and readiness.

Emotional Readiness vs. Rebound: How to tell the difference between a genuine connection and using someone new to avoid grief.

Individual Differences: How attachment styles, coping skills, and breakup circumstances shape how quickly people move forward.

The Role of Grief: Why heartbreak is similar to bereavement and why honoring loss can be part of moving on.

Red Flags and Green Flags: Signs that you may be jumping in too quickly — and signs that you might actually be ready for a new relationship.

Practical Tips: How to self-reflect, set boundaries, and approach new relationships with clarity rather than fear.
