How To Let Go of a Friendship

How To! with Mike Pesca

Our series about friendship ends with a look at, well, how friendships end.

Alice and Grace connected when their kids started dating. They became fast friends whose family lives were intertwined—in a good way. They even joked that they might end up raising grandchildren together. When the kids broke up, Alice and Grace broke apart, too. Now, Alice is wondering whether she should fight for her cherished relationship or just move on. On today's episode, Carvell Wallace brings on Carissa Potter, an author and artist who founded People I've Loved and hosts the podcast Bad at Keeping Secrets.
