Healing with Haelly

66: I love you... and I need space.

This episode is a full-circle reflection on one of the most enlightening friendships of my life — a story of missed birthdays, missed weddings, unspoken judgments, and unexpected grace.

What do we do when someone we love stops walking beside us? How do we process subtle betrayals and growing distance without making the other person wrong?

In this episode, I share the private moments that shaped this friendship — including a quiet act of vengeance, the tension of feeling judged, and the birthday text that closed the loop. If you’ve ever outgrown someone you love or wrestled with guilt about needing space, this one’s for you.
