68: Friendship Redefined: How to Navigate Shifting of Relationships With Grace

July 22, 2025 • Episode 68

"You are not a bad person for choosing peace"

In this week's solo episode I dive deep into the often-unspoken evolution of friendships — especially when personal growth, motherhood, or big life transitions shift the dynamic. I share insights and real-life stories about recognizing when a friendship no longer aligns, how to navigate the emotional waves of letting go, and why it’s okay — and necessary — to set higher standards for the relationships you nurture. Whether you're outgrowing old connections or seeking more aligned friendships, this episode will help you process, reflect, and feel empowered in the journey.

Key takeaways:

Friendships evolve as we grow
Boundaries protect your peace
Gratitude helps release what no longer serves
You deserve reciprocal, supportive connections

Journal Prompts from the episode:

In what ways have I outgrown certain friendships? How does that make me feel?
What kind of friend do I want to be?
What kind of friends do I want to attract?
Which relationships feel most energizing and aligned in this current season of life for me?
