The Truth About Friendship: Capacity, Vulnerability, and Letting Go Well

Friendship can feel complicated, but when it's done right, it can be one of the most life-giving parts of our lives. In this episode, Jamie and Heather unpack the reality that we're not meant to be deeply connected to everyone. From understanding your natural capacity for relationships to identifying the different "rings" of friendship, this conversation brings language to what many people feel but can't quite explain.

We talk about what real vulnerability looks like (and what it doesn't), how to deepen the right friendships, and how to recognize when a relationship has shifted—or needs to.
