Friendships should be safe, fun, and supportive—but without boundaries, they can drain us instead of filling us up.

In this episode, we explore the importance of setting and maintaining boundaries with friends, how to navigate toxic dynamics, and why boundaries are an act of love for both you and the friendship.

Healing isn’t a straight line—it’s a lifelong journey filled with highs, lows, and everything in between.

In this episode, we dive into what happens after you’ve started your healing journey. We’ll talk about the reality of setbacks, why relapse into old patterns is part of the process, and how to build resilience along the way. Plus, we’ll share practical strategies to help you stay grounded and keep moving forward even when life throws curveballs.

In this conversation, we unpack the double drain, constant dopamine hits from our devices and the energy vampires in our lives who quietly leave us depleted. We break down what dopamine really does, why we’re overstimulated but under fulfilled, and how to reset with practical detox habits that bring our focus and creativity back.

We also get real about the people side of it, those who test our boundaries, drain our spirit, or interrupt our peace. Together, we reflect on how to set limits, call our energy back, and give ourselves permission to unplug without guilt.

By the end, we remind ourselves that peace is not optional, it’s protection.
