The topic of Friendship tends to become more defined and specific the older we become. Let's be honest: life has a way to re-tailoring expectations and/or who fit in our life. Distance doesn't always mean bad, whereas closeness does not always mean good.

In this episode, Mom and I will discuss balancing friendships and the general definition of friendship.

Today's podcast on the topic of "When Self-Love Becomes Selfish." This is a topic that I believe many of us struggle with as we try to balance taking care of ourselves while also being mindful of others. In this podcast, we will discuss the signs of when self-love becomes selfish, its impact on ourselves and others, and how we can find a healthy balance.
