What happens when the person you thought would be in your life forever… isn’t?

In this episode, we sit down with therapist Mackinzie Rummel to talk about one of the most painful and least talked-about losses: a best friend breakup. Mackinzie opens up about losing the woman who once stood beside her as her maid of honor and all the things that led to the friendship ending after the wedding.

Together, we unpack why friendship breakups can hurt just as deeply, if not deeper, than romantic ones, how identity and life transitions can fracture even the closest bonds and what it actually looks like to grieve someone who’s still alive. From the guilt, anger and confusion to the healing and boundaries that follow, this conversation is honest, raw and deeply validating for anyone who’s lost a best friend they never imagined losing.

If you’ve ever said “I thought she’d be in my life forever,” this episode is for you.

It’s chaotic, it’s relatable, it’s festive trauma.

It’s Thanksgiving week and we’ve got a very full plate.

We also spiral (lovingly) about Dancing with the Stars, especially the cultural reset that is Robert Irwin, plus a few chaotic Halloween stories we probably should’ve kept to ourselves.

Then we get into Wicked, Hilary Duff’s return to music, All Her Fault and all the pop culture whiplash our brains can handle right now.
