In this Head Noise episode, I answer three listener questions that sit right at the intersection of hope, attachment, and self-betrayal the kind of decisions that feel impossible when you’re emotionally involved.

We talk about:

• Whether you should leave a life you love to move cities in the hope of finding a partner

• What to do when your cheating ex wants you back, is in therapy, and swears they’ve changed, especially when you’ve already moved on with someone else

• How to emotionally detach and move forward after being slowly ghosted by someone you thought things were going really well with

This episode breaks down the psychology behind:

• Making life decisions from loneliness vs self-trust

• Sex addiction, and the difference between change and intention

• Why ghosting hurts so much

• Choosing yourself without spiralling into guilt or doubt

As always, Head Noise episodes are about cutting through the emotional fog and helping you see what’s actually happening, so you can make decisions that protect your peace and self-respect.
