Sharing Friends With Your Ex + Coping with Heartbreak WITH LUCY PRICE

Welcome home, lovely!

In this episode, Jewel teams up with Lucy Price, a breakup and relationship coach, to tackle the thorny topic of heartbreak. Brace yourself for a deep dive into the world of post-breakup blues and how to emerge from them stronger than ever.

Lucy spills the beans on her process for helping folks not just get over their ex, but catapult themselves into a life they actually love. We're talking real, practical tools here - not just "eat ice cream and cry" (though that's not off the table).

The dynamic duo emphasizes the importance of giving yourself permission to feel all the feels. They challenge the notion that you should just "get over it" and instead advocate for a more compassionate approach to healing.

But it's not all doom and gloom. Jewel and Lucy tackle the tricky terrain of shared friendships post-breakup. Can you really be friends with an ex? How do you navigate your social circle when it feels like a minefield? They offer some savvy advice on setting boundaries and finding your tribe outside the shared friend group.

Throughout the episode, Jewel and Lucy serve up a healthy dose of reality, sprinkled with humor and hope. Whether you're nursing a broken heart or supporting a friend through theirs, this episode offers fresh perspectives on turning heartbreak into an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.

Meet your host, Jewel!

Jewel is on a mission to create a more connected world. For the past four years, she has been helping clients embrace their authentic selves, overcome social overthinking, and build meaningful connections. Jewel’s journey began with her own struggles in social situations—often feeling not fun or interesting enough and constantly comparing herself to others. Through studying psychology, self-esteem, confidence, and belonging, and with the guidance of her first coach, she discovered what Brene Brown calls true belonging: confidently sharing who you are and feeling strong even when standing alone.

Today, Jewel is committed to helping over 10,000 people create true belonging within themselves and connect more deeply with others.
