93: Friendship Breakups (The Ashley Tisdale of it All)

When did not inviting the whole friend group become a toxic personality trait? In this episode, we’re digging into friend groups, friendship breakups, and how therapy-speak and social media are not helping.

In conversation, we tackle:

• The Ashley Tisdale article calling out toxic behavior while completely missing the point
• Not all friendships require a formal breakup conversation, sometimes you can let it fade out
• How therapy language gets weaponized in friendship to avoid accountability and having hard conversations
• Why reality TV and social media are reshaping what we expect from friends (and not in a good way)
• Why “protecting your peace” has quietly become an excuse to opt out of repair
