No one really prepares you for this part: when your life changes, not everyone gets to come with you.

In this 2-part chat we're covering one of your most requested topics: friendship fallouts. And I’m not talking about dramatic blow ups or petty drama. I’m talking about the quiet grief. The slow drifting. The realization that some friendships were tied to a version of you that no longer exists.

Divorce didn’t just change my relationship status, it shifted my entire ecosystem. My family dynamics, my work, my sense of self… and yes, my friendships. Some people couldn’t meet me in this new season. Some revealed things about themselves I didn’t expect. And some simply didn’t have the capacity to support the transition I was moving through.

I’m sharing the hard-earned truths I’ve learned along the way, including:

• Why certain friendships only work when you stay small, familiar, or unchanged
• What people’s reactions reveal when your life shifts in a big way
• Why losing friends during major transitions isn’t failure, it’s growth
• How to tell the difference between seasonal friends and aligned ones

If you’re navigating divorce, a breakup, a major life pivot, or even just becoming a new version of yourself, this chat is for you.

And don’t miss Part 2, where I go deeper into what I had to release - and what I had to protect - to build my life back better.
