Friendships are just like any other relationship, in that, their wins can feel like our wins. But that also means their bad days or their stress can also feel like ours, too. And sharing each other’s load is healthy, when it’s in balance. So if you’ve ever felt the urge to ghost a friendship, or if you’re like Daysha, and have actually done so, there’s a good chance there’s dynamics in your relationship that are out of balance. So, this week Daysha is going to explore:

• What is burnout (especially what it looks like within our friendships)

• And how to approach getting your relationship back in balance

So, if you’ve always wondered:

• Why do I feel drained after hanging out with friends?

• Why am I losing interest in my friendships?

• Am I outgrowing my friends or am I just burned out?

Then I hope you are sat and ready because Real Talk Friend Therapy with Daysha Veronica is in session!
