We talked about the quiet heartbreak of friendship fallouts in our last chat and in this Part 2, we're going deeper.

This chat is about the truth most of us don’t want to admit: not everyone has the capacity to support you through every transition of your life. And that doesn’t automatically make them bad people, or you unlovable.

I’m breaking down what it really means when friendships expire, how to stop turning every ending into a villain story, and why some relationships were never built for depth in the first place. We talk about seasonal friends, alignment, and the hard but freeing realization that letting go doesn’t always need a dramatic ending.

We're chatting about:

• Why some friends simply don’t have the emotional capacity to hold your growth
• How to release friendships without blame, drama, or guilt
• The difference between people who benefit from your brokenness and those who celebrate your becoming
• How to protect yourself in vulnerable seasons (especially post-divorce)
• The two alignment questions I now use to decide who gets access to my life

This is also about learning to trust yourself again. Life transitions can sharpen your intuition, your gut, and your ability to choose people who see your power now, not who you used to be.

If Part 1 helped you feel less alone, Part 2 will help you feel clearer, stronger, and more at peace with who, and what, you’re leaving behind to make space for what’s next.
