Have you ever looked at a friendship or relationship and realized...

this person just isn't my person anymore?

Maybe there wasn't a huge fight.

Maybe no one did anything terrible.

Maybe the relationship simply changed...and somewhere along the way, you changed too.

In this episode, I'm sharing a very personal experience that made me look differently at one of my own friendships—and helped me realize something important:

That moment didn't change the relationship. It showed me what the relationship had already become.

We're talking about the relationships we hold onto because of history, the expectations we place on people, and what happens when we stop trying to make a relationship be something it simply isn't anymore.

We'll also talk about acceptance, impermanence, the word “should,” and a question that might make you look at some of the relationships in your own life differently:

If I met this person today...would I still choose this friendship?

Not every relationship is meant to stay the same forever.

People change.

We grow.

Life changes.

And sometimes making peace with a relationship isn't about fixing it, ending it, or deciding who's right and who's wrong.

Sometimes...

it just is what it is.
