Let’s be real...adult female friendships can be tough. Between busy schedules, group chats you’re not included in, and that occasional sting of being left out, it’s easy to spiral into full-blown FOMO. But in this episode, we’re flipping the script. We’re talking about turning fear of missing out into the joy of missing out and learning to love our own company without feeling less-than.

We dive into what it really means to set boundaries in friendships that feel one-sided or toxic, and how to stop chasing relationships that drain your energy. Because here’s the thing: choosing peace over people-pleasing is a form of self-love. And when you let go of what’s not serving you, you create space for the kind of friendships that do: the ones that feel easy, honest, and life-giving.

So if you’ve ever felt left out, questioned your worth in a friend group, or wondered if you’re just “too sensitive," this one’s for you.
