Coping with a Breakup Text: Lisa Arends' Journey on the Breakup Recovery Podcast
“Healing does not speak calendar. And that's your hopes and your dreams, and they don't have to feel attainable right now, it's ok, but just to keep yourself thinking forward and keeping that hope alive.”
Imagine being on holiday, only to receive a text from your husband of 16 years saying the marriage is over. That’s exactly what happened to Lisa Arends. In this episode of the Breakup Recovery Podcast, hosted by Barbara Stevens, Lisa shares her raw and emotional journey through this unexpected and painful breakup.

This blog became a beacon for others facing similar heartbreaks, offering stories on surviving divorce, overcoming abandonment, and dealing with emotional abuse and gaslighting. Lisa opens up about the importance of giving yourself time to heal and the power of gratitude in reshaping your mindset.
She also shares practical advice on how to find hope and move forward after such a devastating experience. Whether you're grappling with a recent breakup or supporting someone who is, Lisa’s story is filled with actionable insights and heartfelt advice that can help you navigate the tumultuous waters of post-breakup life.
