Growth can feel amazing—but let’s be real, it can also be lonely. In this episode, I unpack why friends can sometimes struggle to support your personal growth journey. I’m sharing two key reasons behind this tension, my own experience of losing friends after university (when I started The Twenties Detox in 2021), and what to do when your relationships feel out of sync.
Here’s what to expect:
1:30 - My story of losing friends after college
4:45 - A One Tree Hill-inspired lesson on personal growth
6:40 - When friends secretly prefer you staying small
7:05 - Why fear of change creates distance
9:20 - How to navigate these friendships: save or let go?
Friendship changes during growth are tough, but they don’t have to define your journey. Tune in for a detox message on honoring your path and your relationships.
