THE GRITTY NURSE RETURNS THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 4TH 2026!
The date went well--but you havent heard back--like...EVER.
Did your bestie of 10 years suddenly stop talking to you?
Are you still WAITING to hear back from that job interview that you did over 6 months ago?
Ever been left on read... forever?
Sorry hunny, you have been GHOSTED.
Ghosting isn't just a frustrating dating trend; it's a cultural phenomenon that's silently killing our trust in relationships, friendships and professional connections.
This week on Atypical Podcast with Nurse Amie Archibald-Varley MN, RN and Therapist Jordan Varley BSW, RSW, we're confronting the fade-out head-on. We'll explore the psychology of why we disappear, why being ghosted by a friend can hurt more than a breakup, and what to do when it happens in the workplace. We'll give you real strategies for coping when you're left in the dark and simple scripts for ending things with integrity—without becoming a ghost yourself. It's time to talk about the conversations we're avoiding.
