Today I am borrowing benefits from a podcast called Almost 30.

I heard these 8 tips on an amazing podcast called Almost 30 and it was so so good I had to share them! Along with sharing my own AFGE of letting go of friendships in my own life.



1) Feel your emotions

⁃ Allow yourself to feel all the emotions. Create the space for yourself to feel all the “feels” Give yourself grace 

2) Take accountability for the part that you played.

 -Learn as many lessons as you can & Self-reflect. What part have you played in this situation and what has this shown you about yourself? What are some of the “soul lessons” you learned from this friendship? Your soul had a purpose in creating this friendship and your soul desired to learn at least one thing from this friendship. even if it wasn’t the “forever” type of friendship. 

3. Seek to unlearn any habits you may have subconsciously picked up from previously toxic relationships or family members. Use it as a guide for where you’re repeating patterns in need of healing. 

4. Take your time to process the situation. Heal on your own terms. Give yourself permission to take your time. 

5. It’s ok to express how you feel to others. Some of us need support in order to process things. Give yourself permission to talk with others and process. Be sure to find someone who doesn’t know you both. 

6. Be your own best friend! Do things by yourself that you would normally do with your friends. Get comfortable being in your own energy. You start attracting people who support you supporting yourself. Learn to be your Own Best Friend. How can you take the energy you’ve been pouring into others and call that energy back to yourself? 

7. Keep your Heart Open. Don’t let the situation keep you from opening up your heart to new friendships when you feel ready to.

8. You might not always get an apology or an opportunity to talk about it. This can be the hardest part because you feel like you never got closure. You. Give. Yourself. Closure.

It's just another F***in' Growth Experience my friends.
