Who you surround yourself with matters more than you think. In this compassionate, faith-centered episode, we’re taking a gentle but honest look at friendships in midlife and how they impact your energy, growth, and emotional well-being. If you’ve ever left a lunch date, phone call, or text conversation feeling unexpectedly drained, this conversation will help you understand why — and what to do next.
This is not a “cut people off” or “burn it all down” episode. Instead, we’re talking about how to take inventory of your friendships with wisdom, grace, and self-awareness. As life changes — with marriages, adult children, aging parents, businesses, ministries, and shifting capacity — our relationships often need to shift too. That doesn’t make anyone wrong. It just means we’re growing.
In today’s episode, we explore:
Through relatable stories, humor, and real-life examples, this episode will help you recognize subtle dynamics that can leave you feeling unseen, overextended, or emotionally drained — and how to respond with clarity instead of guilt. We’ll also talk about the importance of grace, communication, and allowing friendships to evolve over time.
Whether you’re navigating shifting friendships, feeling stretched thin, or simply craving more authentic connection, this episode offers encouragement and practical insight for women in midlife who want relationships that support the woman they’re becoming.
If you’re ready to reflect on who you’re walking alongside in this season — and how to show up with healthier boundaries and deeper truth — this conversation is for you.
