The Breaking Point podcast

In the galaxy of relationships, in all the different shapes and forms they can take, long distance ones are among the trickiest. Today, Katherine is telling us about her experience, between Canada and France, with one big ocean - and one big promise - in the middle.

Welcome back to The Breaking Point Podcast. In this episode, we listen to the story of Sarah. You’ll probably notice that her story today is probably less about a breaking point rather than years and years of painful erosion. It is the slow, silent, invisible from the outside, death by a thousand papercuts type of suffering we’re about to hear and it is totally heartbreaking. I know that it is a story that a lot of you, us, can relate to. Because it is the story of a lot of women, our...

Hi everyone, I haven’t been in touch in a while and I wanted to give you a quick update on what’s happening with the Breaking Point podcast. It’s been three years now since the last episode and while producing this program has been immensely rewarding and important to me, I had to take some time off – I just needed to become a parent; twice, actually. Anyway I am now looking for new people to interview which means that in a few weeks time, we will be returning with a brand new season of...

In this last episode of season 2, we talk about first times, uniqueness and being kind to ourselves. Samuel met Ronan at 17 and after a first date in the cold November in Glasgow, he embarked in his very first emotional adventure. Every single thing was new to him, and over the following two years,…

In this episode, we question why we are or are not in relationships, social pressure, and where to set our limits. Abi met Scott when she was only 19 and he was her first real boyfriend. Very quickly though, he proved to be a difficult person to be with because of his jealousy and abusive…

This is the second part of Louise’s story, in which we talk about perspective, being cheated by love and things we can’t fix on our own. Once again, some listeners might find certain parts of this interview upsetting. Share that episode on social media and please rate the podcast on iTunes. Twitter: @bppodcastoff

In this episode, we talk about the many meanings behind the word love, what we accept in the name of it and unfortunately abusive relationships. This is the first part of a double episode dedicated to Louise’s story. Louise reconnected with an old flame 16 years after school and thought that he was the one. Pretty…

In this second episode, we talk about shame, vulnerability and trust. Kristin worked very hard to keep her relationship with Justin. At times, Justin worked very hard as well. Their love was stronger than the thousands of miles that separates Australia from the UK. Unfortunately when things got supposedly easier, that’s when they became more complicated.

Welcome to season 2 of The Breaking Point podcast! In this first episode, we talk about love, longevity, the value of time and its impact on relationships. Rebecca met Will at university and always had an eye on him... When they moved in together years later as friends, the nature of their relationship changed... within the first few weeks.

At college, Graeme got in a relationship with Suzy – even if she thought he possibly was a bit too daft for her… They spent the next 4 years together.

At the age of 19, Mark met his first love, Karen. It was only a matter of days before this young love became mature and very serious.

Yvonne’s story starts with a kiss in a dorm in the countryside of France. Danny was everything she’d ever wanted in the perfect context for her adventurous nature.

University is a place where lots of people find their first loves. The freedom, the busy social life, the new lifestyle - sometimes far away from home - is the perfect context to fall in love, whether it is because we want it because we need it. One night in St Andrews, Mick ordered a few drinks to find the courage to kiss Felicity. A pretty common beginning for a relationship that was all but ordinary.

Kirsty’s busy life in London lead her to meet a bold and successful guy named Tommy. Seduced by his charms, confidence and tenacity, she got into a relationship that started fast and furiously.

This is the first episode of the Breaking Point podcast. One day, Sarah meets Steven and after he fed her a chocolate strawberry (nice move), their story began. Unfortunately, there was something in Sarah’s blind spot; something that, eventually, will split them up.
