When Friendships Evolve - Growing Apart, Growing Together

Friendship isn’t static—and neither are we. In this episode, I dive into how friendships evolve over time, through life changes, distance, and shifting values. As a queer person, a dancer, and an expat, I’ve experienced friendship in many forms—from intense bonds forged in ballet school to long-distance voice notes with best friends raising children. I talk about what it means to grieve a friendship, how new ones form in rural France, and why learning to accept the changing nature of connection might be the most loving thing we can do.

💬 Have your friendships changed over the years too? I’d love to hear your story—drop a comment or message me.
