Hi there, thanks for listening to the Sister Circle Podcast.

My name is Crystal Evans Hurst and I'm your host.

Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the podcast that's designed to

help you live your life well and to make it a life you love. Listen, you get to choose. Have you ever experienced a friend breakup.

Have you ever experienced a friend breakup?

Even with the best of friends, y'all.

They happen.

And I want to talk to you a little bit about what you can do,

how you can function, how you can recover, or how you cannot be saucy and snappy about it.

Because listen, sometimes when they leave you be like, go on then! Go on then!

Let's talk about it today.

Hey y'all, my name is

Hey y'all, my name is Crystal Hurst and if you're just joining me,

welcome. I'm glad that you decided to tune in. I'm going to talk about how to handle a friend breakup and if you've lived long enough, you've probably already experienced it. I don't know if you handled it well, but we'll talk about handling it well.

I also want you to know that if you haven't experienced one, keep living.

Keep living because people are not all designed to be on the same path for the entirety of their lives.

That is the most important thing for you to understand that seasons shift and paths diverge.

And if you can accept that, then you can be prepared and honestly expectant of the shifts in seasons.

The biggest problem I think with handling a friend breakup is that you don't see it coming.

But psychology today has three major

reasons why friendships end. Okay? Now there are others but I like these three.

One is selfishness. You can be a friend with somebody who is in a friendship with you for what they get out of it.
