About this episode

This week we read an article from The Cut called ‘Why Are Friendship Breakups So Brutal’ and we want to talk about it. We share our perspectives on friendship breakups, why they hurt more than romantic breakups, and ghosting friends vs trying to work on the friendship.

And then we answer a question from you guys about our own friendship! You asked: “what is one thing you would wish for the other person?”

We love getting questions from you guys! Every now and then we’ll put a question box on our Instagram story but you can slide into our DMs anytime.
