We’re giving a well-deserved spotlight to a topic that’s often overlooked—friendships. That’s right, those unsung heroes of our lives that bring joy, comfort, and a sense of belonging.

We’ll dive into why platonic relationships are essential to our well-being, the challenges of maintaining them across busy schedules and long distances, and, of course, practical tips to keep those bonds strong.

TRIGGER WARNINGS WITHIN THIS EPISODE!

Whether you are the one who has decided to end your relationship or are the one on the receiving end of your partner telling you they no longer want to be with you, the ending of a relationship hurts.

If you are the one who has come to the end of your tether and can’t go on anymore, your grieving will have started well before you end the relationship.

TRIGGER WARNINGS WITHIN THIS EPISODE!

Trauma is when we experience very stressful, frightening, or distressing events that are difficult to cope with or out of our control. It could be one incident or an ongoing event that happens over a long period of time. Most of us will experience an event in our lives that could be considered traumatic.

Sexual trauma is exposure to any nonconsensual sexually inappropriate behaviors that cause distress. Symptoms often include fear, anxiety, or depression, although not everyone responds to stress or trauma the same way. Regardless, no one should deal with it alone; help is available.

When it comes to being in a relationship, we need to be on the lookout for potential red flags—those signs that there might be danger (or major toxicity) up ahead. These can be different than yellow flags, merely pointing to a need for caution or a little bit of honest communication. Red means stop. Evaluate. Think through how to move forward—whether that means continuing the relationship or choosing to break it off.
