In this deeply reflective episode, Barb Desmarais is joined once again by our good friend, Tim Wade, for an honest and heartfelt conversation about one of life’s most difficult challenges: letting go of people when a relationship has run its course. Whether it's a friend, a partner, or even a family member, parting ways can feel like a kind of death—but it can also be the most loving choice you make, not just for them, but for yourself.

Tim opens up about his personal experience with releasing relationships that no longer serve growth, connection, or mutual respect. Together, he and Barb explore how letting go, while painful, is often a supreme act of love—one that honours the truth of where things stand rather than clinging to what used to be.

The conversation also weaves in relationship expert Matthew Hussey’s powerful insight that letting go can be viewed through the lens of addiction. Like any craving, the urge to stay can mask the reality that the relationship is no longer good for you—or for them. Recognizing this pattern can help break the cycle and lead to healing.
