If you have Spotify try a playlist called Cos we are awesome by Nina Farr. Full of woman power songs!

Survivor - Destiny's Child.
I hate you so much right now - Kelis
Ones that aren't specifically break up songs but have positive message , Whatever - Oasis, Free - Ultra Nate (showing my age!) So many break up songs are sad, but they're still good, Carol King - Too Late, Prefab Sprout - When Love Breaks down.. Again, showing my age.

Robbie Williams - No Regrets
Kelly Clarkson - Never Again
Beyoncé - Best thing I never had
Kelly Clarkson - Since U been gone
Ellie Goulding - This love (will be your downfall)
Kelly Clarkson - What doesn't kill you (makes you stronger)
