   How to cope with heartbreak and rejection

   Elizabeth and Mel face one of the most challenging parts of dating: heartbreak and rejection. We are joined by life coach and author Michelle Elman who went through a devastating, public break-up after being notified via an Instagram DM that  her fiance of 24-hours had been cheating on her. Michelle, Mel and Elizabeth explore the impact an experience like this can have and how best to cope with it. We discuss surviving rejection and the lessons that heartbreak can teach us, in time. Plus: how to feel hopeful again and embrace the ‘what next?’ stage of self-discovery.

Whether that is, as Mel said on a previous episode, saying hello to the barista who makes your coffee in the morning, smiling at someone who is walking their dog in the park, having a chat with the postman, just having those small moments of interconnection and vulnerability can really help you build up again to trusting that there are good people out there.
