After a breakup, your mind starts replaying the good moments.

The laughs. The warmth. The version of them that felt safe.

And suddenly, you’re questioning everything.

In this episode of Becoming Her, Unfiltered, I break down The Breadcrumb Effect — why your brain romanticizes the past after a breakup and why missing someone doesn’t mean you should go back.

I also share my own story — how I gave in to the breadcrumb effect, and how it ended up hurting me. Understanding what was happening in my brain helped me stop shaming myself, stop repeating the cycle, and start choosing myself.

Stage Affirmation (save this):

“This feeling is chemistry, not clarity.

My brain is grieving — not guiding.

Missing moments does not erase patterns.

I can pause without reacting.”

We’re talking real neuroscience, explained in a human way:

• Why your brain feeds you highlight reels

• How dopamine drives the urge to reach out

• Why uncertainty feels unbearable

• And how your nervous system confuses chemistry with clarity

This episode is for the woman who knows better but still feels pulled.

For the one who misses moments — not patterns.

For the one learning how to pause instead of spiraling.

You’re not weak.

You’re not confused.

You’re human.

And once you understand what your brain is doing, you stop shaming yourself — and start choosing yourself.
