Nobody warns you that when your life changes, your friendships might change right along with it.

After 25 years of marriage, Toni knew divorce would change her routines, home, and future. What she didn't expect was losing friendships she thought would last forever.

The couple friends who stopped calling. The invitations that disappeared. The awkward conversations. And the unexpected grief of losing a community along with a marriage.

In this episode of Start Your Comeback, we're talking about friendship loss during major life transitions and the courage it takes to build meaningful connections again.

Toni also shares how God has brought new women into her life through friendships, book studies, and Mahjong—and why it's never too late to make room at the table.
