April 24, 2025 · 17 min

Remember when friendships used to feel effortless—like a team sport? But somewhere along the way, adult relationships started feeling more like an individual game. In this episode, I’m diving into why relationships change as we grow, and how to handle those changes with peace and maturity.

We’ll unpack Mel Robbins’ powerful “Let Them” theory and explore the three biggest factors that impact adult friendships: time, energy, and proximity. Whether you’re struggling to maintain connections or feeling guilty about drifting apart from people, this episode will give you the clarity and freedom to let go without shame and focus on what matters most.
