Connectedness

Ep 17: Filtering Out the People That Aren’t for Us


Listen Later

In this episode of Connectedness, Fernanda explores one of the most unspoken truths about adult friendships: sometimes, we outgrow people — or realize they’re simply not for us.

How do we handle those quiet realizations with honesty and compassion? How do we evaluate friendships through the lens of our values instead of guilt or obligation? And what does it look like to walk away — without drama, but with deep self-trust?

Join Fernanda as she guides you through the emotional landscape of letting go, from tuning into your inner wisdom to honoring the grief that can come with releasing a connection that no longer fits.

In this episode:

  • Why it’s okay to be discerning in friendships

  • How to assess your relationships using values, energy, and emotional safety

  • What to do when a friendship starts feeling one-sided, chaotic, or draining

  • How to lovingly distance yourself from people who no longer align

  • The emotional impact of friendship breakups — even quiet ones

This episode is for anyone who’s learning to protect their peace, make space for aligned relationships, and trust themselves in the process.
