How to Use Conscious Uncoupling for Friend Breakups with Ali Ryan

In this episode, I sit down with Ali Ryan, a trauma-informed embodiment coach and clinical nurse hypnotist, to talk about something we don't discuss enough: friend breakups. 

 

I just went through one myself, and even as a relationship coach, I needed support and guidance, so I was up at 1 am googling, what are the steps in Conscious Uncoupling? And they were SO HELPFUL! 

 

I share some of my process in my conversation with Ali and was so delighted to hear her insights! 

 

On this episode, we explore conscious uncoupling (not just for romantic relationships!), how to have what I call a "loving ending" that honors the past while acknowledging when something needs to end, and why we don't have to make someone right or wrong when a relationship evolves. 

This conversation is for anyone navigating the end of a friendship and wanting to do it with grace, integrity, and love.
