About this episode

Florence Given discusses the loneliness that can accompany personal growth and outgrowing friendships.

Someone asked me in the comments of an episode on YouTube ‘can you make an episode about the loneliness of outgrowing the people you love?’. It is brutal and it truly hurts like hell.  You’ve achieved everything you want. You’ve become the woman you always dreamed of. And now, you’re being punished for it.  ….WHAT?!!!  Yeah. It’s crazy. And no one talks about it. Because you feel like you’re getting out your tiny violin, complaining about success and how ‘hard it is’. But we need to have this conversation. You’re not alone.  You’ll get through this.  Let’s dive in!  _________ Please leave us a REVIEW and rate our show if you loved this episode! 🌟 Follow me on Instagram @florencegiven  Follow the podcast @theflorencegivenshow Buy my NEW BOOK here: https://linktr.ee/womenlivingdeliciously Watch + join the comment section on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCleWTyiVjNlDMyFHsoLlRHQ Created By Florence Given Directed and Creatively Produced by Florence Given Produced by Kate Downey Video Editing by Mika Bryony See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
