When Friendships End Without Closure: Quiet Breakups and Losing Friends in Adulthood

About this episode

#369: Friendship "breakups" and falling outs are unfortunately quite common throughout adult life, and is especially more difficult in your 20s. Sometimes, there isn't even a specific reason, it just happens out of the blue with no real explanation.

This is a topic that isn't discussed enough and on this solo episode, Emily shares her personal experiences with this over the years and how she has quietly and healthily processed the changes and some insights that may be helpful for you, especially if you're currently navigating a friendship disconnection or have had these experiences in the past.


What you will learn:

  • How to deeply reflect on your core values and what that means in your friendships and relationships
  • Understanding whether you're overextending compassion to others and not enough towards yourself
  • Creating self-awareness on possible areas you may have fell short in a relationship
  • Processing patterns that may have occurred more than once in a friendship that led to the falling out later on
  • How to recognize people's capacity and emotional maturity and hold space for that, while also having your own needs and boundaries
