Show Notes

Michelle Elman is a life coach, broadcaster and author, who is releasing her fifth book ‘Bad Friend: Why Friendship Breakups Hurt and How to Heal’ on 8th May 2025.


We go through an estimated 23 friendship breakups across our lives, so why do we rarely talk about how painful they are?


In part 1, Michelle joins Dr Alex George to unpack why friendships aren’t treated with the same validity as romantic relationships, what a friendship breakup actually is and how to know when the right time to end a friendship is.


Plus, Michelle discusses the unexpected health benefits of happy friendships (and how they can be as beneficial as quitting smoking!).


Follow @michellelelman and get her book ‘Bad Friend: Why Friendship Breakups Hurt and How to Heal’, coming 8th May, published by Renegade Books.
