In the second half of my conversation with Rei, we dive even deeper into the dynamics of adult friendships. Picking up from our discussion about what hurts more—friendship breakups or romantic breakups—we explore the growing phenomenon of ghosting in friendships and how it shapes our definitions of relationships.

We also tackle the tough question of who gets "prime time" in your life versus being left in the background. Rei shares her thoughts on how to strike that balance and offers authentic insights on how we can all show up as better friends. This episode is an honest and reflective exploration of the intricacies of connection, prioritization, and growth in friendships.
