Friendship Shifts: Letting Go, Making Room

I’d love to hear from you- send a text!

In this heartfelt episode, Vicki Gardiner explores the quiet—and often painful—evolution of friendship in midlife. If you’ve felt the ache of growing apart, the sting of a slow fade, or the longing for deeper, more aligned connections, this conversation is for you.

Together, we’ll unpack:

• Why friendships shift in midlife (and why it’s so common)
• Gentle signs it may be time to let go or redefine a relationship
• How to grieve friendship endings with grace, not guilt
• Ways to open your heart to new, meaningful connections
• What healthy, reciprocal friendship looks like in this season

If your friendships feel different and you’re not sure what to do with that ache—this episode will give you clarity, comfort, and encouragement for what comes next.

✨ It’s time to release what no longer fits and make room for the life-giving friendships you truly deserve.
