How do you know when a friendship is worth repairing, when it’s time to let go, and how to actually move forward once it does end? In Part 2 of our friendship series, we’re diving into the complicated, painful, and rarely talked-about world of friendship breakups.

Tune in for lessons on:
✅ Why friendship breakups can feel so painful (especially between women)
✅ The framework for deciding whether to repair, distance yourself from, or end a friendship
✅ The difference between active and passive friendship endings
✅ How to “compartmentalize” a friendship with personal examples
✅ How to grieve a friendship while still making room for new relationships
✅ Our “What Do I Take With Me?” exercise for post-friendship breakup healing

Friendship endings can be messy, emotional, and deeply personal. But they can also teach us a lot about who we are and what we need from the people in our lives. If you’re navigating a friendship breakup, questioning whether a friendship still belongs in your life, or simply trying to make peace with one that ended, this episode is for you.
