Welcome to Just Break Up, the podcast about love, heartbreak, and all the relationship advice you don't want to hear.

My name is Sierra de Mulder.

And I'm Sam Blackwell, and today we're going to answer a letter

from somebody who knows she needs to just break up, but can't seem to do it. But before we begin,

mental health practitioners. No, never. Not even close. We are not professionals.

We are not trained in any of this.

All right.
