We love to talk about toxic friends, until we realize we might’ve been one.
In this episode of Say No More, we’re flipping the script and calling out something most people avoid: what if the friendship fell apart because of you?
What if you weren’t the victim, but the one who drained, dismissed, or deflected?

We’re talking:

• The victim complex in friendships

• Emotional immaturity vs. emotional accountability

• How to spot your own toxic patterns

• Why “ghosting” you wasn’t betrayal—it was a boundary

• Learning to say sorry without explaining yourself

This isn’t about shame, it’s more about self-awareness. Because sometimes, growth starts with a gut punch. And it sounds a lot like, “Shit… I was the problem.”

If you’re ready to stop pointing fingers and start taking ownership, this episode’s for you.

Filipino culture loves to glorify tiis in relationships - like pain is the price of real love. From teleseryes to tita advice, we’ve been fed the lie that suffering = loyalty.

But guess what? Pain isn’t a love language. Struggle love isn’t noble. And this ain’t a damn telenovela.

In this episode of Say No More, we’re calling out:

• How “tiis ganda” becomes emotional abuse in relationships

• Why jealousy and chaos aren’t proof of passion

• How trauma bonding traps you in toxic love

• The truth about choosing peace over passion

• Why even married women deserve to say no to silent suffering

It’s time we unlearn the myth that love must break us before it can build us. If you’ve ever stayed in a relationship because you thought pain was proof of love - this one’s for you.

They say it’s “just a phase.” They say you’ll regret it. That you’re selfish. Broken. Missing out. But here’s the truth: some of us simply don’t want kids- and we’re DONE being quiet about it.

This episode of Say No More is a straight-up mic drop on the pressure to conform, the myth of the “maternal instinct,” and the bullshit checklist we never signed up for. This is for anyone who's ever been made to feel “less than” for choosing a different path.

If you’re childfree by choice, this is your permission slip to stop explaining yourself.

If you’re not, listen anyway. It’s about time we made space for ALL the ways to live a full, loud, no-regrets kind of life.
