About this episode
Breakups don’t always have to end with burned bridges, bad blood, and an ex becoming the villain of the story. In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like to end relationships with grace, how we talk about our exes after the fact, what we’ve learned from relationships that didn’t work out, and whether it’s actually possible to walk away while still respecting what you once had.
We’re getting honest about heartbreak, boundaries, forgiveness, and why the way you end a relationship can matter just as much as how you started it.
Love you guys!
