Friendship breakups hurt — sometimes more than romantic ones.In this episode of The Audacity Effect, Kelly and Jenna dive into the emotional labor, loyalty, and unspoken grief that happens when female friendships shift, fade, or fall apart. They talk about the friendships we outgrow, the ones we hold onto because of “potential,” the guilt of pulling away, and why honest conversations with our girlfriends feel harder than conflict with a partner. They cover red flags, ghosting, boundaries, emotional safety, reciprocity, and what it actually looks like to protect your peace without abandoning the people who matter. If you’ve ever struggled to let go of a friend, felt confused by a slow fade, or wondered why women don’t talk about friendship loss the way we talk about romantic endings—this episode is for you.   WELCOME TO THE AUDACITY EFFECT Welcome to The Audacity Effect — the unapologetic podcast for women & people who are done waiting for permission and ready to build audacious careers, businesses, and lives.
