In this Dear Evergreen episode, we’re talking about one of the most tender transitions we go through in our 20s: outgrowing old friendships without quite knowing where to go next. A listener writes in feeling stuck in long-standing connections that no longer feel aligned and wondering when if it’s time to walk away.

We explore:

• the discomfort of drifting from people you still care about
• why so few friendships end with a proper goodbye
• how to create closure without conflict
• grieving what was while making space for what’s next
• how to stay open to new friendships 

This episode leaves you with ideas on how to master goodbyes and give yourself the opportunity for real closer — and how to be open to all the wonderful connections you haven’t even made yet.

Today on the pod, we’re talking about the comedown after a truly great vacation. A listener writes in about the disorienting feeling of returning home—how hard it is to jump back into “real life” after feeling calm, curious, and rejuvenated while away.

We explore:

• why post-travel blues are a real (and totally valid) part of the experience
• how to identify what exactly made the trip feel so good—novelty, spaciousness, connection—and invite more of it into everyday life
• why rushing back into routine often makes the return harder
• how to honor a special trip without clinging to it or making yourself miserable that it’s over

If you LOVE to travel (like me) hopefully this episode will ease your aching heart after returning from a trip or remedy the pre-trip blues you may already be feeling just thinking about it being over one day.
