This ep is a juicy one. I’m talking about getting comfortable because it’s easy, rather than challenging and pushing yourself toward a life you actually want.

We’re talking about the signs you’re slipping into a pattern, living up to someone else’s ideals instead of your own, not knowing what you want, feeling lost and frustrated, and how to start to turn it all around.

Listener Question:

I’ve struggled to set boundaries my whole life and people often walk all over me. I've done a LOT of work on myself to unlearn these unhelpful beahviours including cutting out my toxic friends who took advantage of me. Recently an old friend has moved to my city but things feel different, and I can feel the blame creeping in from her that I am not doing enough in our friendship. Please help me before it blows up!

Brain Fact: The Ceiling Effect in pharmacology  .

Listener Question:
Me and an ex bestie had a falling out a few years ago but I still have to interact with them in group settings. It’s hard but I do it cause I don’t wanna miss out on group things with mates. It’s awkward but I get on with it. I’m getting married soon and feel like it’ll be awkward and dramatic if I don’t invite them because I’m literally inviting our whole friendship group EXCEPT them. On the other hand, this person has done nothing but been a bad friend and not a good person so I really don’t want her making things awkward on my wedding day. What do I do?
