Letting go of a friendship can be just as tough as holding on to one. So how do you know when to walk away and when to work through it?
In this episode, Corinne Morahan and Briggs Rolfsrud talk about the reality of adult friendships—the ones that last, the ones that fade, and the ones that need a hard goodbye. They share personal stories, unpack why friendships shift over time, and explore how to prioritize the relationships that truly matter. Corinne’s four-step organizing framework offers a fresh way to think about friendships, from recognizing when a connection no longer serves you to making time for the people who do.
If you’ve ever questioned whether to reach out, step back, or completely move on, Corinne and Briggs’ conversation will give you clarity and maybe even the push you need to nurture the friendships that deserve your energy.
Quotes
- “It’s so hard to lose a friend, whether by choice or by their omission, right? When they kind of let you go, and you’re left wondering why—should you reach out or not?” (03:07 | Briggs Rolfsrud)
- “Two things can be true at once: it can be sad that I have to let this person go or they let me go, and it’s the right thing that had to happen because of where we are in our lives and who we are.” (07:57 | Corinne Morahan)
- “It’s okay to just say goodbye to someone for a reason that makes sense to you and maybe not to most of the people that you know.” (12:25 | Briggs Rolfsrud)
- “Just because you have the conversation doesn’t mean that you’re gonna choose to salvage it. You may still end up walking away, but at least you’ll know you tried.” (21:00 | Corinne Morahan)
- “Compromises can happen within your boundaries. You don’t want to go outside of them, but there’s a lot of wiggle room.” (22:53 | Briggs Rolfsrud)
