*Please note this episode contains adult language. In this episode, I’m exploring a complex topic that isn’t discussed much. I’ve enlisted my bestie, Amy Firth, and together with laughter and truth-bombs, we unpack the unique grief of friendships ending.  I've really felt a pull lately to find a way to address this topic. There's so much out there about different types of relationship endings: death, divorce, breakups, and separation, but rarely do I come across conversations that address the unique and profound grief that comes with the end of a friendship. Anchored in our own friendship of 20+ years, join Amy & I as we explore the changing landscapes of friendships and share our own experiences of what helped us sit with and work through the pain and discomfort of friendships ending.   “You can still really lovingly hold space for someone and not have them in your life.” - Amy Firth   Key Timestamps: 04:05 - Let's open a Sacred Space together 04:51 - Why is it difficult to navigate the ending of a friendship? 10:01 - Why do we crave connection with other human beings? 13:29 - The importance of communication in every relationship 18:41 - Can therapy save your friendship? 25:33 - What is it like to share such a deep feeling for a friend only for that friendship to end? 42:41 - How do you make sense of something confusing, like the feeling that you may have done something wrong? 49:31 - A type of therapy that believes that conflict equals growth 51:32 - How can we apply the same principle to friendships? 53:16 - The key takeaway from this episode  56:03 - How do you perform the endings ritual, and how does it help? 1:04:25 - Today's soul inquiry prompt 1:05:13 - What is a baby step you can take in that direction to integrate it into your life today? 1:05:37 - Closing the Sacred Space      SOUL INQUIRY Soul Inquiry is a practice where we enter a direct dialogue with our inner self.    The Soul Inquiry prompts for this episode are: Have you experienced a friendship ending before?
