This episode is a reminder to recognize your own strength and stop giving more than you receive. You don’t need to be everything to everyone—but you do deserve balanced, healthy relationships.

We unpack people-pleasing, interdependent relationships, and how control and manipulation often resurface when others feel they’re losing access to you. Old patterns, convincing apologies, and “fresh starts” aren’t always signs of change—they’re often attempts to pull you back in.

As you evolve, not everyone will come with you. This is your time to pull your energy back, release unhealthy ties, and choose growth. Give yourself the chance to build healthier connections—and protect your peace.

Be happy in private. People can’t touch what they can’t see. ✨
