Self-growth is powerful—but it has its limits. We hear a lot about doing inner work, staying mindful, and focusing on self-improvement to fix relationship issues. But what if the problem isn’t you? What if no amount of meditation, journaling, or self-reflection can fix a friendship that’s fundamentally unhealthy?
This episode breaks down the fine line between self-improvement and self-sacrifice—how sometimes, in an effort to ‘work on ourselves,’ we end up justifying bad behavior from others. We’ll explore when self-growth becomes an excuse to stay in toxic friendships, why setting boundaries is more important than endless self-reflection, and how to recognize when a relationship is no longer serving you.
