In this episode, I’m opening up about a new layer of my divorce journey—the impact of friends and family. Divorce has a way of revealing people’s true colors, and in my case, it was a harsh realization. I talk about navigating friendships that turned toxic, watching so-called friends play “neutral” while adding fuel to the fire, and even witnessing inappropriate boundaries between friends and my family. This episode is all about recognizing and letting go of relationships that don’t serve you, and embracing the few true connections that remain. Life after divorce is a journey, but sometimes removing the weight of toxic relationships is the first step to moving forward.
