About this listen

Some friendships are for a season — and that doesn’t make you a bad person.

In this powerful and honest episode of Lead Like a Girl, we unpack the evolving definition of friendship and what it really means to build intentional, healthy relationships as you grow personally and professionally.

From navigating shifting dynamics to recognizing emotional dependency, we’re diving into the uncomfortable (but freeing) truth: not every relationship is meant to grow with you — and that’s okay.

Whether you’re re-evaluating long-time friendships, navigating professional relationships, or craving deeper mutual development, this conversation will help you reflect, reset, and reconnect with intention.

  • Why friendship should be rooted in mutual growth, not obligation

  • How personal growth naturally changes relationships — and why that’s healthy

  • The role of self-reflection in evaluating friendships

  • Balancing personal and professional relationships without guilt

  • Recognizing the difference between supportive connection vs. emotional dependency

  • Why letting go of certain friendships can be an act of self-care, not failure

  • Friendship should support mutual development, not emotional drain

  • Evaluating relationships leads to healthier, more aligned connections

  • Intentional conversations create clarity and respect

  • Outgrowing friendships doesn’t mean you failed — it means you grew

  • Investing in the right relationships fuels confidence, leadership, and success

  • Healthy relationships require responsibility, not dependency

  • Life seasons change — and friendships can too

  • Surrounding yourself with aligned people is essential for growth

  • Reflecting on past relationships offers powerful lessons for the future
