Ghosting isn’t just something we do to others. We do it to ourselves when we stay too long, avoid the truth, or ignore what we really want. So how do you leave well, without abandoning yourself in the process?

In this episode, I sit down with Naomi Hattaway, author and consultant on the art of Leaving Well. We dive into why endings feel so messy, how to know when it’s time to walk away, and what it really looks like to close a chapter with clarity and dignity.

Naomi breaks down the difference between kindness and niceness, how to spot when power dynamics get in the way of leaving, and why “quiet power” can be your strongest tool during a breakup or transition. From ghosting and breadcrumbing to breakup rituals and friendship fades, this conversation is packed with real talk on how to stop overexplaining, honor your truth, and leave without ghosting yourself. Whether you’re navigating a breakup, a situationship, a friendship, or even leaving a job, this episode is your permission slip to choose yourself and move forward without shame.
