Ep. 104 What ghosting really means

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
• No response is a response
