In this listener-submitted Q&A episode of Sessions for the Soul, we’re diving deep into real-life questions about friendship, burnout, body image, and self-trust.

We explore what to do when a friendship starts to feel one-sided, why rest often triggers guilt, how to reconnect with your intuition, and how to cope with lingering body image struggles even after doing the work.

This episode is for anyone who’s been asking:

Why do I feel ashamed when I try to rest?
Is this friendship still mutual?
How do I know if I’m making the right decision?
Will I ever feel at peace in my body?

🎧 Topics include:

Signs it might be time to release a friendship
Understanding shame and productivity guilt
Why rest can feel unsafe for the nervous system
