Finding Closure After A "Best" Friendship Breaks

About this episode

Shemika and MarQuis discuss the complexities of finding closure after a close friendship ends unexpectedly.

In this second of a three-part series, Shemika and I explore the complicated aftermath after a friend has either "ghosted" you (chosen to remove themselves from your life with no explanation) or when a friendship "dwindles" unexpectedly. I am truly honored to call her not only a friend but a talented colleague and mentor. Join us for a deep dive in how each of us found our versions of "closure" and explore the many reasons why "best" friendships can be complicated. Like! Listen! Share!And, in the meantime, love yourself!
