    104 | Outgrowing Friendships: When Personal Growth Changes the Relationship (with Dana Mosley)

    What happens when you begin to grow—and a friendship doesn’t grow with you? In this final episode of 2025, Cecelia is joined by Dana Mosley for an honest, compassionate conversation about outgrowing friendships. Together, they explore what it feels like when personal growth, healing, or life changes begin to shift the dynamics of a relationship—and how to navigate that transition with clarity, maturity, and grace. This episode is especially for women who find themselves asking quiet questions like: Have I changed? Have we changed? And what does it mean if this friendship no longer fits the way it used to? Rather than rushing to labels or dramatic conclusions, Cecelia and Dana discuss how growth can create distance without creating failure—and how honoring seasons in friendship can be an act of wisdom, not selfishness. In this episode, we talk about: What it really means to “outgrow” a friendship How to recognize when a friendship has entered a new season Letting go (or loosening your grip) without bitterness, guilt, or shame If this episode resonated with you, please consider leaving a review and sharing it with a friend.
