LISTEN TO EP 109: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY

You know how we always say, friends are the family we choose? Well, what happens when that chosen family starts feeling more like a bad reality show than a support system? If your immediate response was, "Oh my God, same!", grab your favorite journal because we are about to unpack a situation that might have you rethinking some of your own relationships.

You know who you are. You're the one who is always saying "I'm sorry" even when you're not quite sure what you're sorry for. You're also the one who feels like they're walking on eggshells around certain friends. You're also the one who isn't fully being themselves because you're afraid to set off another argument. I'm talking about those friendships where every single conversation feels like a war zone and where you spend more time analyzing text messages than you do actually enjoying each other's company.

Today's episode is all about knowing when to fight for a friendship and when to love yourself enough to walk away. We're talking toxic dynamics, accountability (or the lack thereof), and how to know if your bestie is still your bestie or if they've become your frenemy.
