Thank you thank you for sharing this Jordan!!! Veryyyyy timely for me as I have been navigating a tender heart towards friendships. I relate so much to being an HSP and this part of your life being so so tender to navigate while everyone else seems to be so chill about it ;) Receiving the wisdom of your tips!!! Bless you!

I’ve gone through several really hard friendship breakups, one just a few months ago and they HURT. I’m in that phase where I’ve created space now and calling in more aligned friendships and the in between can be tough but I know it’s for the better. Thanks for sharing!!

After listening to so many podcasts about how to handle a friendship breakup. Your words gave me the most peace about it. I am currently working on people pleasing and boundaries, and after being continuously hurt by a friendship over 20+ years, I finally decided to distance myself. Friends and family told me I couldn't end the friendship because it began in childhood, but you absolutely can. Thank you, Jordan!!

Laura!!!! this means the world to me. I am honored to have you here and I am so incredibly proud of you for cultivating that space for yourself + creating the distance you've needed. I know it's not easy. but when someone can't hold the love we give, it's our responsibility to take that love elsewhere <3

This hit at exactly the right time. My 15+ year friendship is gone, I was ghosted and have no clue what I’ve done to upset or hurt her. I have so many things to say about what I’ve learned in this process. Ultimately it was for the best, but I never ever would’ve ended the friendship myself. Thank you for sharing this and please write the book!
