Some friendships feel like oxygen, and others feel like walking on glass. That gap isn’t about who’s good or bad—it’s about fit. I unpack how to spot true compatibility, why “safety over spark” is the most reliable filter, and what a classic fable about two pots floating down a river can teach us about choosing the right company. If you’ve ever left a coffee date feeling smaller, second‑guessing your words, or buzzing with someone else’s judgments, this conversation will help you name what’s happening and protect your energy without guilt.

And, if you want more access to me, my coaching, and live monthly calls, I want to invite you to join us inside Self Coaching Society  with this limited time, exclusive offer just for my very special podcast listeners.
