Unpacking Adult Friendship Breakups: Red Flags, Grief, and Growth

Adult Friendship Breakups

 

Adult friendships often get overlooked in conversations about relationships. While there are countless books, podcasts, and resources focused on romantic love, breakups, and healing, the complexities of adult friendships remain largely unexplored. Navigating these relationships, finding meaningful connections, knowing when to disconnect, and even dealing with the grief of a friendship ending or betrayal are rarely discussed in depth.

Yet, friendship breakups can be even more painful than romantic ones. As women, we often go deep with our friends—sometimes they know us better than our partners. There’s safety, trust, and a kind of predictability in these connections, and when they break down, it can shake us to our core. I’ve felt that pain firsthand, especially in the last few years, and it’s time to break the silence on this. From the grief to the red flags we tend to ignore, there’s so much to unpack when it comes to adult friendships—especially the less obvious signs that might tell you it’s time to let go

If you have been feeling restless, emotionally raw, impatient with your old patterns, or like your current life suddenly feels too small, you are not imagining it.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

EP 764 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Boundaries) How to Set Healthy Boundaries Without Guilt in 2026

This episode of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol is all about boundaries.

Not the cold, harsh, push-people-away kind.
But the kind that protect your energy, your peace, and your future.

Most high achievers think burnout comes from working too hard. The truth is much simpler: burnout comes from weak boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, it’s not because you care too much or work too much. It’s because you’ve been saying yes to things that should have been a no.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, fear, or anxiety — and how to finally stop overgiving to the point of losing yourself.
