Finding the Guardian of Your Soul

Should You Stay Friends With Your Ex?

Episode Summary

We’ve all heard the old “we broke up, but remain the best of friends” line, and chances are you have even done it yourself after a breakup. The truth is, sometimes this does work, and two former lovers can transition to good friends, but most often this isn’t the case. This week, Lisa talks about whether being friends with your ex is a good idea, and a few boundaries to set if you both decide to go there. She shares her own example of leaving a toxic relationship that cost her time, energy, and money, and explains why keeping your path clean and clear is absolutely necessary if you want to create a pathway for the Guardian of Your Soul to walk toward you. At the end of the day, looking out for your needs, health, and happiness sometimes means saying goodbye to someone you can’t imagine living without… and then you do, and your future looks brighter than ever expected!
