Bougie Mom Friends

In this episode, Camellia and Celia dive into the spicy and sometimes sticky topic of ex-relationships. They ask the big questions: Is it okay to still be friends with your ex? When is it appropriate to hash out the past? And most importantly, how do you navigate it?

Through laughter, anecdotes, and real talk, they explore:

• Setting boundaries with exes while respecting your current relationship.
• The benefits of closure—when hashing it out is worth it (and when it’s not).
• The societal stigma around being friends with exes and why it might be outdated.
• Jealousy, insecurities, and how to handle them with grace.
• Stories of reconnecting with old flames and turning past loves into platonic friendships.
• The role of communication and accountability in moving forward with your past.

Takeaways:

• It’s possible (and okay!) to maintain respectful friendships with exes—but boundaries are key.
• Apologies and closure can lead to emotional healing, even years after a breakup.
• Navigating lingering feelings is about honesty—with yourself and your partner.
• Jealousy often stems from insecurity, but open communication can ease tension.
• Not all relationships end in animosity—some can evolve into supportive friendships.
