Breakup stages of grief #3: realization

Date Aired: February 20, 2026

Produced By Janice Formichella

Breakups, Broken Hearts, and Moving On is a weekly podcast about healing broken hearts, building confidence, and moving forward in an empowered way. It is the perfect balance of science, spirituality, and sass. 

With a heavy dose of optimism, I share what I’ve learned from personal experience AND as a breakup coach to help you though this time. 

With over 200 episodes, it is more than a podcast, it is a resource library for people on any phase of their breakup healing journey. 

Welcome to the third part in my series on the breakup stages of grief. In this episode I talk about “realization” — the stage where we really start to turn a corner in our healing journey.


Episode Description

Breakup stages of grief #3: realization

The third stage in the stages of grief for breakups as I have developed them is “realization.” 

This is a fun one! It happens as we start to turn a corner with our healing and see that the breakup was for a reason and that you WILL be okay. 

In this video I discuss: 

-What the realization stage is

-The thoughts we often think during this stage

-The things we might find ourselves doing (“positive” and “negative”)

-Ways to navigate and make the most of the realization stage
