In this episode of The Mantate Show, I’m opening up a conversation we don’t often have: friendship breakups. Friendships can end for all kinds of reasons — sometimes because of others, sometimes because of us — and those endings can be heavier than romantic ones. I share some reflections on what friendship breakups have taught me, how to think about the friendships we want to protect, and why it’s important to give this kind of loss the space it deserves.
