Set boundaries. Unfriend.

from Tracy Talks · host Tracy Glenn

In this episode of "Tracy Talks," the host, Tracy, delves into the true meaning of friendship and social connections, particularly in the context of social media. She kicks off Season 2 by sharing a personal frustration that she believes is meant to be shared.Tracy challenges the common practice of accumulating large numbers of social media "friends," many of whom are mere acquaintances or strangers. She argues against the motivation behind such extensive connections, stating unequivocally that she is not one to keep "fake friends" in her "orb" or inner circle.She asserts her willingness to disconnect from individuals who truly are not your friends and act in ways that are unacceptable. People will say it’s social media connections and they "don't matter." Tracy passionately explains that every interaction, even online, involves an energetic exchange. Maintaining connections with people who are not genuinely supportive, or even hostile, allows their negative energy into one's personal field.Tracy addresses how people are often afraid to publicly disconnect from others, seeing it as a failure to live authentically and fall to peer pressure. She advocates for having a small, trustworthy circle over a large, untrustworthy one, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding one's energetic network.Cleaning out one's friends list is like cleaning one's house, a necessary act to protect one's energetic space. She encourages listeners to set boundaries and send a clear message that disrespectful behavior is unacceptable, urging them to overcome the fear of conflict and prioritize their well-being by removing negative influences from their lives.

I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.  Trauma Talks : With Russ Tellup rtellup Hi, I’m Russ Tellup, a Trauma-Informed Somatic Coach and Level 1 Brainspotting practitioner.
