The Friendship I Almost Outgrew (J'Leen)

Have you ever felt like you’ve outgrown a friendship? Maybe you felt like you and a friend drifted apart because you’ve changed in ways they haven’t? Or maybe you’ve felt like someone you once knew has evolved into a completely different person. 

Today Shasta sits down with her friend J’Leen to talk about the journey of their friendship and how their shared religious background became a point of divergence for the two of them. They discuss how their spiritual journeys took them each in different directions and ended up impacting their relationship. 

Listen in as they reflect on their personal journeys, the challenges they faced, and what they learned about keeping friendships alive even when it feels like it might not work. It’s a real and relatable discussion about how friendships can survive—and sometimes even thrive—amidst big changes!
