EP #98: If you've ever felt the guilt of "we've been friends for so long" or "I feel bad" if you no longer want certain people in your life, this is the episode for you. As a people pleaser, we can find ourselves getting stuck in these situations and staying unhappy.

We're getting into the real, uncomfortable truth about outgrowing people, especially the ones who are content staying exactly where they are while you're trying to build something bigger for yourself. Plus, how to sit in that messy, lonely in-between period without rushing to fill the gap just to feel okay again.
