Today we dive into one of the toughest parts of friendship: boundaries. Katy shares simple ways to say "no," communicate honestly, and protect your energy without guilt. We explore Shasta Nelson's pillars of meaningful friendship—positivity, consistency, and vulnerability—and what they look like in real life. You'll reflect on what fills you up, what drains you, and how to take responsibility for your own presence in your friendships. We also touch on the rising rates of loneliness and why setting healthy boundaries is essential for deeper, more nourishing connections.
