#137 [What To Do When Your Friendship Falls Apart] with Elizabeth Laing Thomson

We’ve all experienced a friendship breakup.

Maybe you were able to reconcile, maybe you’re in the middle of friendship turmoil right now, or maybe your friendship has distinctly ended.

Relationships are hard and not all of them are for the long haul which is why I’m so grate to my guest, Elizabeth Laing Thompson, for walking us through what to do when a friendship falls apart.

You’ll hear us talk about…

  • Why friendships fall apart

  • Navigating the pain of broken friendships

  • Keeping your hurt from affecting other relationships

  • Taking steps toward healing

  • Why it’s important to God

Elizabeth is the author of many books for women and teens, including All the Feels, All the Feels for Teens, and the When God Says series. She writes at ElizabethLaingThompson.com about clinging to Christ through the chaos of daily life. As a speaker and novelist, Elizabeth loves finding humor in holiness and hope in heartache. She lives in North Carolina with her preacher husband and four spunky kids.

Start a Girls Talking Life Group

Girls Talking Life is all about cultivating community and creating meaningful connections. In pursuit of that mission, I’m launching Girls Talking Life Groups. It’s like a book club but for the podcast.

You listen to an episode then get together with friends to discuss, reflect, and apply it to your life.

I’ve created Reflection Guides for some of the series and stand-alone episodes, so the work has been done for you. Just listen and discuss!

The Girls Talking Life podcast and Reflection Guides were recently approved by my local church to be used as small group curriculum and now you can use them for your small group too! Don’t have a small group? Start one!

Grab the Girls Talking Life Group Quick Start Guide. I outline a couple of simple steps, answer a few questions you may have, and tell you exactly how I’d start, if I were starting a group. Because I am! I’m hosting a group this summer at my house and I encourage you to do the same!
