I Lost 12 Friends This Year — Here's What I Learned

This one is my real, raw therapy session. I'm not on the other side of this — I'm in the middle of it. So if you've ever said no and spent three days wondering if you offended someone, immediately checked the comments after doing something brave, or felt the sting of someone whispering about you behind your back — this episode is for you.I'm getting into all of it: the people I've lost in my growth, the Utah-influencer-bubble that won't include me, the cheap chatter that almost made me question my entire podcast, and the trick I learned that actually stops the spiral when comparison hits.💋 Why caring what people think is NOT a character flaw (it's biology)💋 The Mormon-Utah pressure I'm done shrinking for💋 Saying NO is saying yes to yourself — the smallest no to start with💋 Stop trying to control the outcome (and what to do instead)💋 If you have to force it, it's not for you💋 What to ask yourself when someone tells you "people are talking"💋 The 12 friendships I lost in the last year and a half — and what I learned💋 The Pink Elephant trick that actually stops the spiral💋 DM: "I say yes to everything. How do I start saying no?"💋 DM: "I've been wanting to start something for 2 years. How do I build while being watched?"This is the conversation I needed to have out loud. If you needed it too, DM me. Tell me what no you need to say. Tell me what you're building that scares you. I read everything.🛍️ COVETED PICK THIS WEEK:On Arousal Oil — for the women who just realized you've been giving everyone else your energy.
