521. Friendship Is a Thought

Jody Moore
About this episode

Friendship comes with expectations we don't even realize we carry. When someone we've known for years suddenly changes how they interact with us, or when differences create distance, the pain feels real and personal. Yet beneath these friendship struggles lies something more fundamental - our unexamined beliefs about what friendship actually means.

 

This week, I explore why friendship is actually a thought, not a fact, and how this perspective shift can transform your relationships. Through a caller's question about losing friends and struggling to make new connections, I unpack the hidden expectations we place on friendships.
