Friendship Breakups vs Relationship Breakups with Michelle Elman

This week, Reed sits down with the brilliant Michelle Elman — life
coach, author, and unapologetic boundary queen. From dating without
shame to grieving the loss of friendships, Michelle is here to
challenge the stories we’ve been sold about love, loyalty, and
letting go. We dive into her books The Selfish Romantic and Bad
Friend, exploring why demanding more in dating is actually
powerful, and why friendship breakups cut just as deep (if not
deeper) than romantic ones. Michelle unpacks how ghosting erodes
trust, why women are trained to soften their needs, and what it
really takes to communicate with honesty (even when it hurts).
Expect raw stories (including TV dates and friendship “mass
exoduses”), laughter through the pain, and practical advice for
anyone wondering: how do you heal when the person who knew you best
walks away? Curious f**kers, whether you’re redefining dating,
nursing a friendship heartbreak, or just craving real talk on
boundaries and self-worth, this episode is going to crack you open.
