Episode 2: Friendship Breakups Suck :(

This week, Jay-Den gets real about the friendships that didn't make it — and why losing a friend can hurt worse than any romantic breakup. Three stories, three different kinds of goodbye, and the lessons that came with each one.

- The friend who took the clothes and the argument that ended it all
- The Fourth of July ghosting that came out of nowhere
- The accident that changed everything — and the guilt she still carries
- Why walking away can be an act of self-love
- A tarot reading recap that hit a little too close to home

New episodes every Thursday. Follow along, share your own stories, and be for real.

With Love Always

**Episode Description:**

This week's episode is a heavy one, so please take care of yourself first and listen when you're in the right headspace. I'm sharing the story of my pawpaw, Robert Wayne Wisdom. From quiet mornings on the porch with Folgers coffee and binoculars, to summers spent on a go-kart and sneaking off to Sonic and Tractor Supply Co., to the four years after his stroke and the night we lost him in 2020. I talk about the guilt that followed, the signs he still sends me (blue jays, lottery tickets, etc), and what I've learned about riding the waves of grief instead of fighting them. Plus, a CoStar reading that hit a little too close to home.

**In this episode:**

- 🎙️ New segment announcements: **Smoke & Mirrors** (breaking down current events) & **Baddies & Bookmarks** (book club episodes)
- 💔 The morning coffee ritual that became everything
- 🏎️ Go-karts, cherry limeades, and old-timey candy
- ✍️ My pawpaw the published author
- 🧠 His 2016 stroke and the four years that followed
- 🕊️ The night he passed — June 9, 2020
- 💭 Letting go of guilt
- 🐦 The signs he still shows up
- 🌊 Riding the wave — my honest thoughts on grief

Welcome to Girl, BFFR — the podcast for those in their 20s and 30s trying to navigate life without losing their damn minds. I'm your host, Jay-Den Wafer, and for our very first episode, we're talking about one of the hardest things to learn: holding the good and the bad at the same time.

We start with one of those days — you know the kind — and explore the balance between letting yourself feel your feelings and remembering to be thankful for where you are. Plus, I dive into a recent tarot reading and give myself (and you) a little BFFR reality check.

If you've ever felt guilty for struggling even when life is "fine," this one's for you.
