Podcasts about toxic friends

Life Points with Ronda: "The Friendship Chronicles"

Am I the Jerk? is the show where you can confess your deepest darkest secrets and be part of the conversation.

We begin today's episode with philosophy! More specifically, we discuss the Existential Elk Theory and the sad, soul-crushing reality that is the human condition. Fun! Oh yeah, we also talk about Moby Dick for a bit. After the extended cold open, we settle into a conversation about how the support of family and friends is important to creatives, but also how their negativity can be a sign to cut ties and elevate the class of people you associate with. If you have a certain goal you want to reach, you need to be around like-minded individuals who will help you reach those goals, not hold you back.

Are you feeling drained and stuck? You're not stuck because of your job. You're not stuck because of your money. You're stuck because of the people you keep around you. Cutting these ties is crucial to break free from a negative cycle and protect your emotional well-being, allowing you to reclaim your peace and energy. In this powerful episode, Kelly Siegel dives into the truth about toxic relationships. How they drain your energy, block your growth, and steal your peace. From toxic parents and friends to energy vampires and fake supporters, Kelly shares how he finally cut the chaos, set boundaries, and built a drama-free life rooted in love and clarity. If you're tired of cycles of drama, guilt, or chaos, this episode will help you break free, build boundaries, and protect your peace. Key Takeaways

If you're in a relationship with a toxic friend, your mind, body, and soul already know it. You might feel constantly drained, heavy, tense, or plagued by headaches and stomachaches. Something inside you says this isn't right—because it isn't.Toxic friendships often stem from your family blueprint gone wrong. When narcissistic or unempathic parents set the tone early in life, you may unconsciously attract similar people later on. It's a true “What the Freud” moment!Even if a toxic friend seems to bring some positive aspects into your life, don't be fooled. As you grow and heal, your awareness shifts—and the relationship that once seemed fulfilling may start to feel unbearable. Eventually, you'll recognize the truth: you've outgrown them, and the party's over.Subscribe now and don't miss this honest, eye-opening conversation!

In this week's episode of Not Alone, Valeria sits down with clinical psychologist and friendship expert Christie Ferrari to unpack the complicated world of adult friendships. They explore why friends can feel so different after childhood, and why we sometimes fight to keep certain people in our lives while letting go of others. Christie introduces the concept of growth flags vs. red flags and helps us identify what healthy, evolving friendships look like versus the ones that may be holding us back. Together, Valeria and Christie dive into questions we all face: What kind of friend am I? Am I a fringe friend? How do I deal with “mean girls” even as an adult? From cultural differences in how friendships form, to tips for approaching conflict, to understanding when it's time to quietly distance yourself, this conversation offers both validation and practical tools for navigating relationships. If you've ever questioned your place in a friend group or wondered how to deepen your connections, this episode is a must-listen.

When women end a friendship, the heartbreak can be devastating, yet we rarely talk about how hard it is to grieve somebody who is still alive.  Susan Shapiro Barash joins Gretta to explore the complex world of female friendship estrangement based on her groundbreaking research interviewing 150 diverse women. Her new book, "Estranged: How Strained Female Friendships Are Mended or Ended," challenges the lifelong "best friends forever" narrative that has left countless women feeling down when their closest friendships crumble. From the faithless friend who betrays your trust to the green-eyed friend consumed by jealousy, Barash identifies different types of toxic friendships that lead women to the painful decision of ending relationships they once cherished.  Whether you've been ghosted or betrayed by a friend, are healing from a friendship breakup, or seeking to build healthier connections, this episode offers compassionate guidance for navigating one of life's most under-discussed transitions. Connect With Gretta❤️‍

The science has finally spoken; you need to cut your toxic friends and ‘frenemies' for the good of your health.

When life gets hard, we turn to our female friends. Husbands, partners, and jobs come and go, but close friendships are our bedrock. Until they're not. What happens when these bonds sabotage instead of support? Who among us has the courage to walk away? And how can we protect ourselves from further heartbreak? In Estranged: How Strained Female Friendships Are Mended Or Ended (Meridian Editions, 2025) Susan Shapiro Barash takes a deep dive into the complexities of female friendships. By peeling back the societal narrative that our friendships are meant to last forever, she uncovers a more nuanced reality: the closest bonds do falter. Through groundbreaking research and 150 interviews with women ranging in age from 20-80, Barash reveals an emerging trend - estrangement among female friends. Estranged is an eye-opening investigation/practical guide for women navigating murky waters of suboptimal friendships. The book sheds light on unspoken pain of estrangement - both for the "estranger" who walks away and the "estrangee" who is left behind. Amid candid confessions of betrayal and grief, Barash challenges women to reimagine their friendships and take the bold step of letting go when necessary. This cutting-edge book offers an empowering path forward: learning to prioritize self-worth, stability and authenticity over loyalty to friendships that no longer serve us. Susan Shapiro Barash has written more than a dozen nonfiction books including Tripping the Prom Queen, Toxic Friends and You're Grounded Forever, but First Let's Go Shopping.

Every tall girl knows the feeling of being the odd one out. In fact, I'm sure you were the one tall girl among your friends, classmates, teammates, or peers. You'd be a head taller than them to the point where other people would assume that you're the random older sibling babysitting them. Or maybe that was just me and my situation lol. Your friends were able to share clothes with each other, but you can't because your friends' clothes won't fit you. People may treat you differently from them. Sometimes, your friends may make fun of you for being the tallest one in the group, making you feel even more insecure about your height. What if I told you that some of your friends may be doing that last part on purpose? Yeah…some of your “friends” may not be your for real for real friends. Geesh, that got kinda dark lol…But I mean it IS real life. Anyways, so today we're gonna be talking about how our shorter friends may have made us insecure about our height, whether they meant to or not.

In this enlightening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we welcome Susan Shapiro Barash, trailblazer in gender studies and author of Estranged: How Strained Female Friendships Are Mended or Ended. Together, we unpack the often-taboo subject of female friendship breakdowns—why they happen, the emotional toll they take, and why letting go can be an act of self-love. Drawing insights from 150 interviews with women aged 20 to 80, Susan shares stories of betrayal, jealousy, and shifting values that lead to friendship estrangement. This episode invites listeners to reflect on their own relationships and offers permission to prioritize well-being over outdated notions of loyalty.

Her latest book, Estranged, explores the hidden complexities of female friendships, revealing why some relationships fade and how women can navigate these shifts with grace and empowerment. Key Takeaways: Friendships aren't always forever—and that's okay. Betrayal, jealousy, and diverging values often fracture bonds. Letting go of toxic friendships is an act of courage, not failure.
