In the final episode (we think) of our mini-series on relationships, we explore one of the trickiest terrains of human connection: endings. From romantic splits and friendship fades to workplace goodbyes, we unpack what it means to consciously, gracefully – or awkwardly – close a chapter. Along the way, we detour through ego death, emotional resilience, identity shifts, and a surprisingly emotional rescue kitten story.
We talk about:
- Why not every relationship is meant to last – and why that’s okay
- Ghosting, dissolving, and directness: different endings for different situations
- Why endings can feel like rejection, even when they’re necessary for growth
- How purpose, clarity, and personal energy guide the hard choices
- That one dinner party where we knew the friendship was over – and we never scheduled another
