About this episode

Send us a text

Ever felt the sting of a friendship slipping through your fingers and found yourself wondering, "Is it me?" Yeah, me too! In fact, it's not just you or me, but a whole lot of us have been wallowing in the depths of self-doubt and  feelings of rejection. 

In this episode,  we're setting sail together through the emotional turbulence of lost connections. Stripping back the layers of self-blame to navigate the natural ebb and flow of relationships, understanding that an ended friendship isn't a measure of our worth. Rejection and ghosting can leave us marooned with our insecurities.

As we delve deeper into the complexities of our social landscape, we encounter the ten significant fears that often shadow our friendships. From the unsettling unease of being talked about behind our backs to the daunting prospect of rejection, we're diving into these prevalent social anxieties that can shake our sense of connection. Through open discussions of personal experiences and a compassionate exploration of the insecurities that accompany group dynamics, this episode offers guidance for those traversing the complexities of modern friendships. We'll take a look at the top ten frustrations people have when it comes to their friendships and how both  are intricately intertwined.

 And together, we'll explore strategies to navigate these challenges, recognising recurring patterns, and embrace the opportunities for growth that arise from confronting these common fears.

This week's quote comes from an unknown source. I think it serves as an important reminder to look at the end of any relationships with as much positivity as possible. That's not to deny the hurt we might feel, but to be able to move through the hurt, anger or any thoughts and feelings swirling around in our heads as quickly as we can so that we don't hold onto it and create sickness and further distress. 

 “Although our paths may diverge, the memories we’ve created will always be a part of me.”
