Episode 52: Friendships Change: Letting Go, Growing Apart & Finding Your Way Back
Podcast:The Nearly Normal Podcast Published On: Tue Mar 24 2026 Description: Is it normal to outgrow friendships? How do you cope when a friendship ends—or changes in ways you didn’t expect? Friendships aren’t meant to stay the same—and sometimes, that’s the hardest part. In this episode of the Nearly Normal Podcast, we explore how friendships begin, how they evolve over time, and what it really means when they start to shift or fade. From growing apart and setting boundaries to grieving the loss of a friendship, we break down the emotional reality of navigating change in relationships. We also talk about how to stay open to reconnection, when it’s healthy to do so, and how personal growth impacts the people we keep in our lives. If you’ve ever felt confused, hurt, or even guilty about a changing friendship—this conversation will help you feel seen and supported.
