Ep. 104 What ghosting really means — how to twenty-something

Whether you’ve been ghosted, done the ghosting (yep, I see you), or just hate how common it’s become, this episode is for you. I’m calling ghosting out for what it really is—a sign of immaturity, poor communication, and a lack of respect. And no, it’s not just a dating thing. Ghosting happens in friendships, jobs, clients—you name it, it’s everywhere.

In this episode, I walk you through why we ghost, why it feels so awful to be ghosted, and how to break the cycle by communicating like the grown adult you are. I share my own stories (including one of my all-time best one-liners) and remind you that how someone responds to rejection isn’t your responsibility—but how you handle it is.

Key Takeaways:

Ghosting is a sign of immaturity and poor communication, not a "normal" way to avoid confrontation.
We ghost because it’s the easier way out, but it’s only going to burn bridges
It’s kinder and braver to communicate where you’re at than lead someone on
Most of the time, ghosting has more to do with the other person’s baggage than with you personally
