Navigating Friendships and Boundaries in Relationship

We dive into the complexities of friendships, both old and new, and how to set healthy boundaries within those relationships. We share personal experiences and challenges with blending friends from different stages of life and how they manage expectations and dynamics within those groups. The discussion also covers the difficulty of forming new friendships in adulthood, the impact of jealousy, and the importance of reciprocal relationships. We also touch on the impact of slavery and Eurocentric models that lead to modern day conflict and resource hoarding in the black community.

This episode's Tap In or Tap Out? featuring a listener's question about dealing with financial exploitation by a sibling leads to advice on asserting oneself and communicating needs effectively to establish boundaries. The episode emphasizes the significance of self-awareness, open communication, and the courage to maintain one's well-being in all relationships.
