Hey everyone – Joe here.
I want to start this first post by saying something simple: you’re not alone.
That sentence sits at the heart of why we built Stumble. Because in the weeks after a breakup, life can feel like free fall – too soon for dating, too late for therapy, and too hard to do on your own. The space between heartbreak and healing has always been there, but until now, it hasn’t really had a home.
Stumble was born from that gap. From late-night Google searches that didn’t help. From therapy waitlists that stretched for months. From scrolling social media only to land on old photos and new regrets. We built the thing we wished had existed when we needed it most – a space that meets you where you are, not where you should be.
What Stumble IsStumble isn’t a dating app, and it isn’t therapy. It’s the bridge in between – the safe, empathetic, anonymous space where you can land, breathe, and start again.
Here, you can:
Because healing doesn’t happen on a schedule – it happens in small, human moments.
Why It MattersEvery year, millions of people experience breakups that quietly unravel their mental health. And yet, the tools we’re given are binary – therapy if you can afford it, or dating apps if you can’t sit with the silence. Neither are built for the messy middle.
Stumble is.
We call our philosophy healthy distraction – not running away, but redirecting energy toward connection, growth, and self-trust. Every journal entry, mood check-in, or small act of courage adds up to real emotional progress.
And one day, when you’re ready, you’ll have the chance to pay that forward – to mentor someone else who’s just starting where you once were.
What’s AheadAs we enter our private beta, our goal is simple: to make recovery feel supported, not lonely. Over the next few months, we’ll refine features, listen closely to our early members, and shape Stumble into a platform worthy of the people it serves.
We’ll keep sharing updates, insights, and stories from our growing community right here on the blog.
If you’re reading this because you’re in that in-between place – welcome. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to take the next small step.
We’ll meet you there.
With care, Joe Martin CEO & Co-Founder, Stumble
