Bird Brain | S9 E10 (345): The Cost of Awareness in relationships

from The Bird Brain Podcast · host Isaiah Frizzelle

In this episode, we talk about the emotional and relational cost of becoming more aware of yourself, your needs, and the dynamics you participate in.Why do people start calling you “too sensitive” or “too much” when you grow?Why do some relationships feel harder to maintain the more you evolve?This conversation breaks down how awareness creates boundaries, how boundaries expose truth, and why not everyone is willing—or able—to meet you at that level.Because sometimes it’s not that you’ve changed for the worse…it’s that you’ve outgrown what once required you to stay small.Subtack : https://substack.com/@fromthebirdbrain
