Stop Wanting Him Back & Find Someone Better

Heartbreak coach, Claire Byrne, breaks down exactly how you can finally STOP wanting your ex back on this podcast that is unlike any other heartbreak podcast out there! Heartbreak is messy, painful and overwhelmingly daunting at times, but it can also be the gateway to embark on a new journey beyond your wildest dreams if you LET it. You will laugh, you will cry, and have your own mind BLOWN, by how POSSIBLE it will be for you to THRIVE from heartbreak, versus barely survive. After years of enduring toxic relationships, and being at a loss on how to navigate through the pain, Claire is now dedicated to helping other women like her, not only STOP wanting him back, but become the best version of themselves, BECAUSE of the heartbreak. PLEASE NOTE: Claire refers to her exes and the listener’s ex as a “he,” based on her own personal experience as a heterosexual female, but this work can be applied to ANYONE going through heartbreak. ALL genders and sexual orientations are encouraged to listen and apply Claire’s tools into their own lives!

How To Know When It's Time To Leave

Claire was inspired to do this episode because she's been coaching a few clients on not wanting to leave, and who justify staying while in the initial stages of a relationship with men who are demonstrating signs of unavailability.

In today's episode, Claire touches on when it's time to get out in the beginning stages of a relationship AND i...

Endless Possibilities To Finding Love

Claire tries to avoid cliché phrases like “endless possibilities” and “stay present!” but these sayings are overused for a reason! In today’s episode, she invites you to go back to the basics of shifting into expansive beliefs when it comes to finding your person, vs reacting off of what is or isn’t happening in your love-life, and therefore making it mean that it will never work out. Claire uses two of her clients as examples who have a more unique circumstance than most of her clients… One cli...

Too Attached to Finding Him

Today's episode is inspired by Claire's client, Sarah, (name changed to protect her privacy) who fears her "clinginess" to the result of finding her person is messing up her process.

Confused Because You're A Catch

If you think you're a total catch, Claire is THRILLED. She tends to attract clients in two camps: those who feel insecure and unworthy, OR they think they're total catches. This episode is for the catches who are genuinely confused about why they're still single, and find themselves comparing and despairing a lot with thoughts like, "Why does SHE have someone and I don't??" As always, this is a safe space to look at our uncomfortable thoughts that may bring up shame and/or embarrassment, but let...

This won't be the first time Claire touches on the importance of visualization when it comes to manifesting an epic romantic relationship, but now you have a WHOLE EPISODE on the importance of visualization, and more specifics on what your practice could look like.

Too Negative For Love?

Today's episode is inspired by one of Claire's clients who reconnected with an ex (not part of her coaching plan!) and ultimately decided that overall she just thinks she has a "bad mindset." Much to the clients' surprise on the group call, Claire chimed in with, "Yeah ME TOO!" In this episode you'll discover how your negative mindset, whether it's about your love-life or something else, doesn't have to be a problem... it's NOT CONSISTENTLY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT, that's the problem, and Clair...

When You Want To Be Pursued

In today's episode, Claire addresses the woman's desire to be pursued, specifically in heteronormative relationships. Claire herself identifies as a "traditional feminist," who appreciates the man pursuing the woman when it comes to asking her out, initiating contact, and yes, even paying for the first couple of dates, while still being all about female empowerment, independence and equality. HOWEVER, there were lots of ways Claire showed up at the beginning stages of her relationship with Larry...

Why It IS and ISN'T About Your Looks

Big TRIGGER WARNING for today's episode, as Claire understands that physical appearance-- especially for women-- can tend to be an extremely sensitive issue. And yet, it's an issue that she really wanted to address in today's episode, because what we look like, as well as what we want our ideal person to look like or NOT look like, often comes into play in our dating lives. Claire's intention for this episode is to offer you a shift in perspective about the importance and pressure surrounding th...

If you let the story, "I'm just not lucky in love" roll off your tongue, this episode is for you, because YES-- it IS just a story that you get to change instead of perpetuate as your truth! Claire helps you see how your love-life isn't about luck-- it's about belief AND the meaning you're making out of what's unfolded in your past romantic relationships. Enjoy!

Too Rigid On Your Search For Love?

Claire speaks so much about how easy it is to settle for crumbs, but in this episode, she talks about common ways women automatically want to write someone off without deeply considering WHY they're writing that person off... They're being rigid for reasons that usually have to do with past experiences, or observing someone else in a particular circumstance that makes you believe that someone who wasn't rich enough wouldn't work well for you either. (using money just as an example). Today's epis...

A Dating App Smackdown

Claire is bringing you a dating app smackdown on today's episode! Look, this isn't to say that your person is definitely on the apps, but the apps ARE the most mainstream way to date these days, and Claire is here to say that just because you've had some brutal experiences or "no luck" with the apps so far, doesn't mean you should throw in the towel when it comes to the apps. If you are ready to take the dating app smackdown, as well as understand how you have so much more power than you realize...

I Don't Want To Be Alone Anymore

In today's episode, Claire share's about a client's resistance to doing the work outside of their calls together (very normal!) but what was uncovered underneath the resistance broke open a whole new way for her client to approach her finding-love journey. This is Claire's favorite aspect of the coaching work: When you don't even realize the blocked thought that's preventing you from where you want to go, because you don't even recognize the bad vibes this thought is having on your finding-love ...

Self Love For The Love Of It

This episode was inspired by two of Claire's clients who she saw were missing the point of the self-love work... Sure, we want to be the best versions of ourselves when we meet the one, but this self-love journey isn't ONLY so we can get something like romantic love out of it, and when we unconsciously lose sight of this, that's when things can feel like they're going awry. Whether or not you think you've got the self-love work down, and/or you are finding yourself still miserable, or at the ver...

Dating "Correctly"

Today's episode was inspired by a basketball coach Claire recently observed, who talked about why the ball wasn't going into the basket. It was because the players were shooting to make the shot-- not focusing on shooting the ball correctly. This got Claire thinking about how people do this with dating: They date to land a man. They don't date with intentionality, awareness, clarity and joy with the PROCESS of finding the man! Two very different things, with the latter being CRUCIAL! Claire brea...

Beware of Bad Dating Advice

Claire was inspired to do this episode because she is tired of seeing so-called experts give dangerous advice that could ultimately sabotage you and/or your relationship or potential relationship. Guidelines and rules are important-- especially when you've been abandoning yourself when it comes to your love-life for so long... But when you're too rigid and are automatically only looking at your circumstance narrow-mindedly because of something some self-described expert says is right or wrong, y...

12 Years Since Rockbottom

Although Claire did an episode two years ago on her 40th birthday, reflecting on 10 years since her rockbottom relationship and all that she has learned, she decided to do another one only two years later as she celebrates 42, because there are more big life lessons she has processed since then, now that she is more "full swing" into her ideal relationship. Whether you're heartbroken or single and looking for love, there are great reminders in here, that she wished she'd understood and factored ...

When The Work Isn't Working 2.0

How is it true that the work IS working, when you've been putting in the work and you're NOT seeing the results?? Claire was inspired to record a new and improved episode on this topic, due to a personal experience of herself guessing if the work was working in a particular area in her own life, and a client was questioning the same thing regarding her dating life.

This episode is the first of a three-part series where Claire and Jamie share about their own histories and current relationships with alcohol, and why it's an important topic for women's health that needs to be consistently revisited, because it's easy to forget about the harmful effects alcohol can have in large quantities and/or on a consistent basis.

It's a tricky thing to balance what experts say we all "should" do when it comes to creating goals and making big life and business decisions.
