In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the often-overlooked emotional toll of draining platonic relationships. What happens when a friendship meant to offer support and connection starts to feel more like a burden than a bond? We explore the subtle signs of imbalance, the guilt that can come with setting boundaries, and the psychological impact of one-sided emotional labor. Through expert insight and real stories, we unpack how to recognize when a friendship becomes toxic—and how to navigate the difficult path of protecting your peace without losing your compassion.
