Dear Carroll: What Do I Do When I've Outgrown A Friend?

from Conversations with Carroll · host Carroll Patrizi

Have you ever felt like you and a friend are no longer in the same season of life—but you don’t want to hurt them, either? I’m answering a listener’s question about exactly that: how to navigate outgrowing a friendship.I share how it’s okay to gently let relationships evolve, how to move forward lovingly and kindly, and why practicing the golden rule - treating others as you hope to be treated - can GUIDE you in these moments. I also talk about staying present, leaning into God’s guidance, and TRUSTING that growth is a beautiful, necessary part of life.Outgrowing someone isn’t rejection - it’s part of becoming the person God is calling you to be, and it can be done with grace, kindness, and most importantly, love.Love and prayers,Carroll💙🌍 Stay connected with me!💌 Newsletter: https://carrollpatrizi.com/contact  ▪️Instagram:    https://shorturl.at/pYPX4 ▪️Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@cpatrizi ▪️Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/carroll.njpatrizi ▪️LinkedIn: https://shorturl.at/cQ1UT 💻Website: https://carrollpatrizi.com/
