My Best Friend Left Me For My Ex

(Video podcast available on Spotify & YouTube) This week on Pretty Lonesome, Madeline talks about her ex best friend. She believes ex besties can be harder to get over than ex relationships, and discusses how hard it can be to forgive someone who you truly trusted. In her discussion of forgiveness, Madeline admits that forgiveness isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. She feels that forgiveness should only serve the person who is giving it, not the person who is receiving it. While she has been in both positions, she admits that she would never encourage anyone to rush themselves into forgiving another person. After all, Madeline believes that forgiving too quickly can cause more hurt in the long run. Finally, Madeline shares her belief in manifestation and offers advice for those looking to find their own voice. She reveals that she often used to go on “hot girl walks”, saying manifestations out loud to herself while visualizing cutting physical ties with another person. Madeline is convinced that this method worked wonders with her ex and ex bestie.
