The Friendship Audit: Not Everyone Is a Friend, and Not Every Friend Is Forever

from The Fishbowl With Jade · host Author Jade Mills

Who truly deserves access to your life? We explore the concept of a Friendship Audit and examine the people who occupy space in our circles. Are some friendships meant to last forever, or do some simply complete their assignment and expire? What's the difference between a friendship that has naturally run its course and one that has been neglected? Why do some friendships grow stronger over time while others fall apart when success, change, or personal growth enter the picture?We discuss the rise of the friendienemy. The friend who speaks the language of support but operates from competition and explore whether your spouse should be your best friend. Most importantly, we challenge ourselves to look inward and ask a difficult question: Are we the kind of friend we expect others to be?
