How to Handle Friendships That No Longer Fit in Midlife #24
from Midlife Answers · host Rachel Fortune
Friendships changing in midlife can leave us feeling guilty, confused, or quietly sad — especially when there’s no fallout or drama to point to.In this episode of our midlife podcast for women, I’m joined by Diane, a counsellor and psychotherapist, to explore why friendships naturally shift as we grow, and how to handle relationships that no longer fit the person you’re becoming.We talk about people-pleasing, resentment, honesty, and how to let friendships evolve - or fade - without blame or unnecessary conflict.If you’ve been questioning a friendship, struggling with guilt, or wondering whether it’s okay to prioritise yourself, this conversation will help you feel clearer and more reassured.🎧 Coming up in the next episode: a necessary conversation about bladder leakage and pelvic discomfort with Dr Sharma.A little note from me....If you enjoy listening to Midlife Answers and you know others who would enjoy it too, I would really appreciate your help with the below - 1/ Please subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify or wherever you listen by clicking HERE2/ Please rate and review - it really helps Midlife Answers reach more people needing that extra support in midlife.3/ Share the love!
