Journalist and writer Kui Mwai joins Adelle for an unfiltered, deeply relatable conversation on adult friendships: why they end, how they evolve, and what it means to outgrow people you still love.
In this episode, they unpack:
✨ Why Kui revisited four former friendships for her viral Vogue article
✨ What really happens during friendship fallouts, guilt, anxiety, disappointment
✨ Why adult friendship feels so different from school-era connection
✨ The loneliness and emotional risk of solitude
✨ Navigating boundaries in a culture that isn’t always taught them
✨ The pain of friendships that “fizzle” with no explanation
✨ How to rebuild connection without losing yourself
✨ Why friendship seasons are normal and nothing is wrong with you
Kui also opens up about her writing journey, her upcoming novel, and what solitude taught her about inner strength. If you’ve ever questioned your friendships or felt guilty for choosing yourself, this episode will feel like a warm exhale.
