What is the biggest heartbreak Sawyer experienced?
Hey, it's your friend Mel and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. So earlier this year, our oldest daughter Sawyer went through the single biggest heartbreaker of her life. The guy that she had been in a relationship with for two years, they broke up. And I'm going to tell you something. We were all devastated. His family was devastated. We were devastated. But they were really devastated. And it was one of the hardest experiences I've gone through as a parent. To watch my child mourn and experience heartbreak, I really didn't know how to support her. And I wouldn't have been able to talk about this with you months ago because I want to respect her privacy and his privacy. And we were just in it. But it's seven months later. And Sawyer and I have dug into this.
And we've done the research and reflected on her experience and my experience. And I am so excited to be able to tell you that we have put together the official Mel Robbins podcast breakup survival guide that is going to help you move through heartache. And it's going to help you support people that you love who are going through a breakup. Because the fact is, as painful as these experiences are, you can move through it. And on the other side of it is an unbelievably powerful, wiser, and more loving version of you. Hey, it's your friend Mel. Welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. I am so thrilled that you're here. I have been wanting to talk about heartbreak and breakup with you for a long time, and today is the day.
How do you support someone going through a breakup?
And so thank you for being here. If you're brand new to the Mel Robbins Podcast, I want to welcome you. To the Mel Robbins Podcast family, you have picked a remarkable conversation to listen to. I am sure you're listening to this if you're new because somebody that you love sent this to you. And so thank you for choosing to press play. The fact that you pressed play on this particular episode tells me that you really do know that you deserve an incredible life, that you deserve to be happy, that you deserve to feel love. And the conversation today is gonna leave you empowered. It's gonna give you very specific things to do. This is stuff that I wish that I had known way back in the day when I've gone through breakups and heartaches. These are tools that you're going to learn based on what my daughter found incredibly helpful as she was going through the biggest heartbreak of her life earlier this year. And speaking of that, Sawyer, thank you for being here with me.
Thank you for having me, mom.
Of course. And, you know, thank you for doing this because you're a private person and this was a extremely painful experience for you to go through this breakup. And I just really appreciate you being willing to come on and talk about not the details of the breakup, but how the breakup impacted you. And we're going to cover a lot today, and so I just want to start by saying, whether you are listening to us right now, and you're in the middle of the tsunami, you just found out that the person that you love is cheating, it's over. Somebody pulled you aside, relationship's over. You've had the conversation about commitment or taking the relationship to the next level, they don't want it. You might be going through a divorce or you're in this stage where you just keep dating people over and over and over and now you don't want to date again. This conversation is for you. This conversation is also for you if you are watching someone that you love go through heartbreak or breakup.
And I want to start by saying that I am not going to tell you to love yourself because that's the last freaking thing you want to hear right now. And it's the world's worst advice. Why is that the worst advice, Sawyer?
Because you hate yourself after a breakup. You feel insecure. You feel disgusting. You feel unwanted. You feel undesirable. You feel rejected. And trying to, quote, love yourself when the person you really wanted to to feel love from is impossible and I think no one knows how to just fall back in love with their self immediately
