EP 14- When friendships change, how to know it’s time for you to let go.

Friendships shape more than your social life, they affect how you show up, how you feel, and even your nervous system.

It’s also inevitable that your friendships will change. As we grow, our priorities shift, and sometimes we outgrow relationships we once thought we couldn’t live without. But letting go doesn’t have to feel like you have failure.
In this episode of The Real Scoop, I explore why friendships evolve, how to navigate these changes with confidence, and why releasing relationships that no longer serve you is essential for your well-being and nervous system regulation.

What you’ll discover in this episode,

Why we resist letting go even when our gut knows it’s time (through our tribal instincts, fear of exclusion, and the belief that “friendship's have to last forever”).
How to spot friendships that no longer align with your values, life stage, or personal growth.
My personal journey with boundaries, hurt, and stepping away from friendships that no longer supported me through my 20's.
How to identify and avoid the Drama Triangle in friendships (Victim, Rescuer, Prosecutor, By Stephen Karpman).
The importance of forgiveness and releasing the emotional impact when friendships end.
How your friendships affect your nervous system, emotional well-being, and energy more than you might realise.
How to spot toxic patterns, including projection, gossip, or emotional imbalance in friendships.
How to make sure that you are creating space for the fully aligned, supportive relationships that boost your confidence and sense of belonging.

Tools & Reflection Prompts,

Reflect on your friendships: Are they 80/20? Are you putting in more effort than you’re receiving?
Ask yourself regularly, "Does this friendship still genuinely support my growth, energy, and well-being?"
Identify where you can let go without guilt, and create space for connections that truly serve you.
Consider, Are you staying in friendships out of habit, fear, or societal expectation?

This episode will give you the clarity, courage, and tools to navigate shifting friendships, embrace growth, and focus on the connections that truly matter.
