Signs No Contact Is Working
Â
In this episode, Coach Lee takes you deep into the psychology behind the no contact rule and explains the real, often overlooked signs that no contact is working on your ex. Breakups are emotionally chaotic, and when you’re the one staying silent, it’s easy to assume that nothing is happening on the other side.
But in reality, your silence creates a shift in the dynamic, and that shift almost always produces visible — and invisible — changes in your ex’s behavior. Coach Lee breaks down each sign in detail, starting with micro-boundaries: the unfollows, refollows...
What If My Ex Texts Me During No Contact?
What do you do when your ex suddenly reaches out during no contact?
A lot of people panic, overthink, or respond too quickly — and that’s usually where things go wrong. In this episode, I explain what an ex’s text actually means, why it happens, and how to respond without losing the progress you’ve made.
You’ll learn:
• Why an ex sends a “temperature check”
• How to avoid breaking no contact the wrong way
• What their message reveals about their mindset
• The smartest way to respond — or not respond
• How your silence shapes th...
Are You Addicted To Your Ex?
Are You Addicted to Your Ex?
Are you really still in love with your ex… or are you addicted to them?
In this episode, Coach Lee explains why missing your ex can feel less like heartbreak and more like withdrawal. When a relationship ends, your brain is still craving the dopamine, the validation, the familiarity—and that craving can make you obsess, beg, stalk their social media, or feel like you’ll never be okay without them.
But here’s the truth:
That desperate pull toward your ex isn’t love. It’s chemical. An...
When Your Ex Goes Too Far
When a breakup happens, there’s usually pain… but sometimes an ex pushes it further. Maybe they take advantage of your silence, try to get a reaction, play games, or say things they know will cut deep. There comes a point where you look at the situation and realize, “This is not love anymore. This is disrespect.”
In this episode, I talk about what it means when your ex goes too far, why they do it, and what it reveals about them — not you. You’ll learn why stepping back isn’t weakness, why protecting your dignity is powerful, a...
They Want A "Break" - What To Do
When the person you love says they “need a break,” it can feel like the ground shifts beneath you.
One moment, everything feels steady but the next, you’re trying to make sense of the distance that came out of nowhere. You might replay every word, every moment, searching for clues. But what most people don’t realize is that when someone asks for a "break," it’s not always about needing time alone.
It’s often about uncertainty, fear, and emotional confusion.
In this episode, Coach Lee talks about what a “break” really means in...
Stages of No Contact For An Avoidant Ex
When you go no contact with an avoidant ex, it might look like they don’t care — but that’s not what’s really happening beneath the surface.
In this episode, Coach Lee breaks down the true stages of no contact for an avoidant ex — what they feel, how they process silence, and why their calmness often ends with sudden panic or regret.
Avoidant exes don’t handle emotional loss the way secure people do. At first, they feel relief — convinced that distance equals peace. But that “peace” eventually cracks. What follows is a slow unraveling that en...
The Egomaniac Attachment Style
The Egomaniac Attachment Style: The Hidden Side No One Talks About
Most people have heard of anxious, avoidant, and secure attachment styles.
But what happens when someone’s attachment isn’t about love or connection — it’s about ego?
In this video, I explain what I call the Egomaniac Attachment Style.
This hidden side of attachment shows up when a person needs admiration more than intimacy.
Their relationships revolve around control, validation, and protecting their self-image instead of building trust. If you’ve ever felt like your ex (or partner) a...
Why Your Ex Fights Their Feelings For You
Â
When someone ends a relationship, it often looks simple on the outside: they make the decision, walk away, and insist they’re sure of it. But the truth is rarely that clean. In this episode, I explain why your ex might still be wrestling with their feelings for you, even if they’re the one who chose to leave.

Don't Fix What They Broke
Don't Fix What They Broke
Podcast with Coach Lee
When a breakup leaves you reeling, there’s a strong temptation to rush in and patch things up—especially if you didn’t want the relationship to end. You might feel like if you can just fix it, explain yourself better, or show them how much you care, everything will fall back into place. But here’s something most people overlook: if they were the one who broke it, fixing it for them actually makes things worse.
In this episode, I talk about why stepping back—and stayin...
They Thought You Would Be Easy To Replace
They didn’t think it would matter.
When they let you go, they figured they’d be fine. Maybe even better off. In their mind, you’d be easy to replace. Someone else would come along and fill the space. They believed they could move on without consequence, without even looking back.
But people like you don’t come around every day. And that’s something they never truly considered—until the silence set in. Until the conversations weren’t as natural. The laughter didn’t sound quite the same. The connection didn’t flow. The comfort wasn’t...
When You Let Go Does Your Ex Come Back?
They don’t come back when you chase. They come back when you let go.
In this video, Coach Lee explains why letting someone go often has a more powerful impact than trying to convince them to stay. If you're wondering why your ex suddenly comes back after you've stopped reaching out or walked away, this video will help you understand the psychology behind it.
Letting go creates mystery, space, and the contrast they didn’t expect to feel. It shows strength instead of desperation—and that shift can change everything.

Make Your Ex Regret Losing You
In this episode, we’re digging into something a lot of people struggle with after a breakup. I'm talking about how to make your ex actually feel the loss. Not out of spite, not to play games, but because deep down, you know they took you for granted. Maybe they assumed you’d always be there. Maybe they expected you to fall apart or chase them the moment they walked away. And maybe… that’s exactly why they left in the first place.

When Your Ex Realizes You Are GONE
In this episode, we’re talking about something that hits deep: what it feels like when someone walks away—but expects you to wait. Maybe you’ve been there. You gave your heart, your time, your consistency… and in return, they gave confusion. Silence dressed up as “space.” Excuses instead of effort. And yet, part of you still held the door open, hoping they’d come back. This conversation is for the ones who waited—out of love, out of belief, out of loyalty—until one day, you realized that love shouldn’t feel like waiting in emotional limbo.

The Dumper's Remorse Timeline
Breakups are messy—even for the one who ends it.
In this episode, I walk you through the timeline of what usually happens after someone breaks up with you. Not right away, but in the weeks and months that follow, there’s often a shift they didn’t expect. The relief fades. Doubt creeps in. And if you’ve gone quiet, that silence starts to get loud.
We’ll talk about the common phases dumpers go through, why they sometimes reach out even when they’re not sure what they want, and what it really me...
The Turning Point In Your Ex's Mind!
Â
What really causes someone to regret the breakup?
In this episode, I walk you through five real moments that often shift the mindset of someone who left you. These aren’t guesses or vague ideas—they’re specific turning points. Internal realizations. Psychological cracks. The kind of things that don’t always show up on the surface, but mean everything when you're trying to understand what’s going on behind the silence.

They Thought You Would Wait Forever
They thought you’d wait forever.
They thought you’d stay in place.
That you’d stay loyal no matter how long they disappeared.
That you’d be available whenever — if they ever changed their mind.
And for a while… maybe they were right.
But something changed. You didn’t just wait. You grew. You got quiet. You got stronger. And now… they don’t know where you stand. And that uncertainty? It’s doing something they never expected — it’s making them feel your absence.

Radio Silence To Get An Ex Back
The Impact of Radio Silence on Your Ex
Radio silence is one of the most effective strategies after a breakup, particularly if your ex was the one who ended the relationship. It works hand in hand with no contact but has its own unique impact. By removing yourself from your ex’s life completely—no texting, no social media updates, no interaction—you create a noticeable absence that forces them to feel the consequences of their decision.
