In this episode, we’re joined by bestselling author and speaker Grace Valentine to have a real, honest conversation about friendship. We talk about when it’s time to end a friendship, how to handle situations like gossip, shallow friendships, and jealousy, and what to do when you are in different seasons than your friends, and overall, become a better friend! Grace shares personal stories of friendship breakups, learning how to set boundaries, and how her faith has shaped the way she navigates relationships. Whether you’re struggling to make friends in a new season of life or healing from a friendship that ended, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone—and that real, meaningful connection is still possible.
