| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here. And today I want to kick off a three-part series about how to handle evolving friendships when you feel like you're outgrowing your friends. |
| 0:24.3 | This is something that's come up a couple of times when I've sent and put out polls and said, |
| 0:29.6 | what do you all want to hear on the podcast? |
| 0:31.7 | This has been a theme that's come up more than once. |
| 0:34.2 | And transparently, this is a conversation that I have had many times over the last |
| 0:39.8 | couple months with my incredibly beautiful, smart, loving black women friends who have talked |
| 0:48.9 | about as they move through different phases and stages in their lives, the feeling of loss that accompanies that |
| 0:56.2 | as they are reevaluating their friendships, having conflict with friends that used to be very |

| 1:40.1 | But summer is also for connection. And I want to take this week to talk about how to identify and |
| 1:46.5 | recognize if you are outgrowing or the relationships that you've had with your friends are changing, |
| 1:53.7 | how to recognize that. I want to the next episode talking about how to actually readjust boundaries |
| 2:00.6 | and friendships address what may be going |
| 2:03.4 | wrong with the person you care about. And then I want to close out the week as I always do about |
| 2:08.6 | we always return to joy here at Black Girl burnout. So even though it can be extremely painful |
