What begins as a fun, ride-or-die bond for Felicity and Tracey slowly turns into a cautionary tale of blurred boundaries, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet devastation of being let down by someone you loved like a sister.

This ep in our Ghosts of Friends Past series is about the moments we brush off, the red flags we downplay, and the heartbreak of realizing that not every friendship is meant to last forever.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you did the right thing by stepping back from a friendship that no longer felt safe—this one is for you.

They were best friends—the kind who text all day, laugh until they cry, and show up for each other in every chapter of life. Miranda was a bridesmaid at Nadia’s wedding. She stood up in front of the crowd and called Nadia her sister. So when Nadia moved two doors down from Miranda’s house, it felt like the natural next step. Why wouldn’t you want to live near your soul friend? But then… something shifted.

Invitations stopped coming. Texts went unanswered. Nadia couldn’t name what had changed—but she could feel it. And then came the moment that confirmed everything: they saw each other at a mutual event, and when Miranda locked eyes with Nadia, her face didn’t light up. It fell.

In this episode, Nadia shares the slow, confusing heartbreak of losing a friend who once felt like family.

NADIA MAHJOURI is a Moroccan Australian writer, counsellor, and group facilitator specialising in maternal mental health. Her professional background is in health policy, governance and academia, where her research focused on ethics and feminist philosophy.

Nadia and her husband live in Hobart/nipaluna with varying combinations of their family which includes three young adults, two school-aged children and a black labrador puppy called Russell Sprout.

She is the host of The Whole Truth: Motherhood and the Writing Life. In this podcast, Nadia interviews authors about how they manage to keep writing while living in the messy middle of family life, work and creativity.

Half Truth is her debut novel. You can find her at nadiamahjouri.com or @nadiamahjouriauthor

When Kylie packed up her life and moved cities, she wasn’t just chasing new dreams — she was also on the hunt for a new girl gang. Enter: a friendly, bubbly meet-up group and one instant connection that seemed like it was friendship at first sight.

But then... cue dramatic reality TV music... after years of being the type of friends that text daily, something happened. Something that left Kylie (and us) sitting there going, “Wait. WHAT?”

This week, our inbox serves up a story that had us shaking our heads more than nodding. Someone writes in to tell us about the time their friend pulled what they called a “genius” revenge stunt on his cheating girlfriend. But when the dust settles, our hosts aren’t buying the mastermind narrative—and in fact, they think this so-called genius move might’ve crossed a line (or three).

Was it clever? Was it cathartic? Or was it just plain messed up? Tune in as we unpack what actually makes for satisfying revenge, why getting even isn’t always as sweet as it seems, and the very fine line between justice and petty chaos.
