In this episode of The Self Love Project, Megan explores the friendships that fill us, the ones that drain us, and the quiet guilt that can come with realizing not every friendship is meant to last forever.

She dives into the difference between reciprocal, energizing friendships and relationships that leave you feeling heavy, exhausted, or less like yourself — while also unpacking the complicated middle ground of friendships that aren’t necessarily “bad,” but no longer fully align with who you’re becoming.

This episode explores the impact our relationships have on our mindset, energy, growth, and self worth, along with the difficult but important truth that being intentional about who you spend your time with is not selfish — it’s self love.

If you’ve been noticing shifts in your friendships, feeling drained by certain dynamics, or struggling with guilt around creating distance, this conversation will help you reflect more honestly on the people in your life, protect your energy without shame, and invest more deeply in the relationships that truly fill your cup.
