In this episode, we’re talking about the quiet art of self-preservation in friendships the kind that doesn’t make you cold, bitter, or selfish, but honest. I explore what it means to choose yourself without burning bridges, over-explaining, or abandoning your values. From recognizing emotional over-giving to redefining loyalty, this conversation is for the woman learning to protect her peace while still leading with integrity. Because sometimes growth doesn’t look like confrontation it looks like discernment.
