Friendships end. And unlike romantic breakups, we don’t have a script for how to do it right. So we ghost. We drift. We pretend nothing’s wrong—until one day, we realize we haven’t spoken in years.
In this raw, unfiltered episode, we tackle:
✔ **The 7-Year Friendship Rule**—Why half your social circle naturally fades (and why that’s okay)
✔ **The "Rejectability" Mindset**—How being open to rejection (or doing the rejecting) frees you from people-pleasing
✔ **The Art of the Clean Breakup**—How to end things with integrity, not resentment
✔ **When to Walk Away vs. When to Fight for It**—The difference between a friendship worth saving and one that’s run its course
Why Listen?
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a fading friendship—or been blindsided by a "we need to talk"—this episode gives you the **tools to let go with dignity** and the **courage to start fresh**.
Backed by real-life stories, psychological insights, and hard-won wisdom.
Hit play if you’re ready to stop drifting apart—and start breaking up like an adult.
