"No matter how much pure intention you put into the world, it doesn't mean it's always going to be received that way or responded to as though it was."

Often, we're going along just fine, and then something happens, and a member of our supporting cast—our friends or business besties—decides, without warning, that their part in our life story is over.

This can come in different packaging, from betrayal to even being ghosted.

But no matter what format the end of your friendship takes, finding out someone you thought would always be in your life isn't going to be is always painful.

And it can be downright lonely, too, because as adults, making friends, (especially for women) can be very tricky.

So how can you get over being blindsided by the loss of a friendship?

Today, on The Leadership Formula, I'm sharing my personal story of my most recent friendship divorce, with someone I expected to be in my life for the rest of it.

Listen in as I share how I used the power of the Enneagram to see my blind spots, so I could take responsibility for my part in the ending of the relationship. I share how I moved forward, found new gifts in my life, and used my freed-up energy to find the right friend relationships for myself and how you can too!

I credit the Enneagram 100% for saving me this year in all my interpersonal relationships. It's why I'm so passionate about helping you integrate it into your life. I've worked hard to bring my Enneagram blueprints to you, which includes your own customized 75-page, Soul blueprint, so you have the exact tools you need to weather any blindsides that come your way. Find yours here!
