Friend Audit: Letting Go of Friendships That No Longer Serve You

Do you ever feel like you're holding on to friendships just because of history, even though you know deep down they’re not helping you grow? Yeah, me too.

In this episode, I’m getting real about the hard truth of letting go of friendships that no longer serve you. Trust me, it’s not easy, but it’s necessary for your peace and personal growth. I’ll share my own experiences and some hard-earned lessons about how to know when it’s time to move on—and what comes after.

Takeaways:

1. How to recognize when a friendship is no longer aligned with your values and goals.

2. Steps to let go with grace and without guilt (yes, it’s possible).

3. The surprising benefits of making space for new, healthier connections.

So, what’s the one thing I realized after I finally let go of a friendship that had been holding me back for years? I’ll tell you in this episode—it just might change how you approach all your relationships.
