How to Use Conscious Uncoupling for Friend Breakups with Ali Ryan

from The Marriage Life Coach Podcast · host Maggie Reyes

In this episode, I sit down with Ali Ryan, a trauma-informed embodiment coach and clinical nurse hypnotist, to talk about something we don't discuss enough: friend breakups.    I just went through one myself, and even as a relationship coach, I needed support and guidance, so I was up at 1 am googling, what are the steps in Conscious Uncoupling? And they were SO HELPFUL!    I share some of my process in my conversation with Ali and was so delighted to hear her insights!    On this episode, we explore conscious uncoupling (not just for romantic relationships!), how to have what I call a "loving ending" that honors the past while acknowledging when something needs to end, and why we don't have to make someone right or wrong when a relationship evolves.  This conversation is for anyone navigating the end of a friendship and wanting to do it with grace, integrity, and love. ✨ Episode at a Glance What conscious uncoupling really means beyond the buzzword Why we need to normalize talking about friend breakups The five steps of conscious uncoupling and how they apply to friendships How to stay out of survival brain when a relationship needs to end Why our society conditions us to be unconscious in both coupling and uncoupling The power of allowing relationships to evolve without making anyone wrong RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Questions for Couples Journal Private Coaching with Maggie The Growth Gap - Free Workshop Ali's Instagram: @ali_ryan__ Ali's Website: www.aliryancoaching.com  Katherine Woodward Thomas (creator of Conscious Uncoupling framework)
