Ever notice that a friendship that once felt electric can start to feel… quieter? Less exciting? Less intense? That doesn’t automatically mean something’s wrong — but it can bring up a lot of questions about whether you’re drifting apart or just settling into a new phase of connection.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why friendships can lose their “spark” over time (and why that’s normal)
• How the honeymoon phase shows up in friendships, not just romantic relationships
• The difference between infatuation with a person vs. building real connection
• How attachment patterns can shape who we feel drawn to 
• What to look for once the initial intensity fades
• When it’s worth staying curious vs. when it might be okay to let go
• Why depth often comes after the spark, not during it
• Why you don’t have to figure it out alone (yes, you can talk to them)

Not every friendship is meant to stay intense forever — but some are meant to deepen once the initial excitement fades.
