In this episode, we talk about:

✨ Whether we can really be friends with our ex… or are we just clinging to crumbs?

✨ The BIG red flags that friendship with an ex is actually keeping you stuck

✨ How anxious attachment shows up as “situationship cosplay” (calling it friendship, still secretly hoping they’ll come back)

✨ The avoidant ex who “feels safer” as just friends – and how that can mess with your head

✨ My personal stories about being friends with MY exes

✨ Green flags for when friendship with an ex can actually work

✨ How to use your body (not your fantasy) as your compass for what’s right for you

✨ Why choosing space and no contact is not immature – it’s self-respect

✨ …and so much more!

➡️ Leave a comment and let me know your biggest takeaway from this episode – are you team “friends with exes” or team “block and bless”? 👀
