This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hey guys, welcome to Tommy Talk.

This is a new weekly series that is a part of my I've never said this before podcast

where I am talking about things that I've never really publicly talked about before,

right?

I'm giving you a little glimpse into my brain for

once instead of all the guests that I bring on. And today's topic is when to let go of a friendship.

Now, this is something that I think is very relatable as we all continue to get older and older.

It's something I've never really had to experience until lately, to be honest.

There are two friendships in my life that, sadly, are no longer what they once were.

And it's a little jarring when it happens.

It kind of takes you off guard, especially if you're somebody like me who really prides himself on fostering

relationships and being good to the people in your life. And holding on to those that you really

love, it really kind of rocks your world when it does happen. But here's the thing, you guys,

if a friendship is no longer serving you, if it's becoming unhealthy for you, if the same old

things keep happening over and over and over again, if you're not getting what you need out

of it, it's time to really, really take stock of who those people are in your life.

It's not easy.

It's not always fun, but I think it's really necessary and important for your own well-being

and your own mental health.

And there are people in your life who I'm sure you've been friends with forever, maybe for the

whole duration of your life.
