Not everyone who smiles with you is for you.
And not everyone who’s close to you deserves access to you.
In this episode, I’m breaking down how to spot fake friends, the signs you’ve been ignoring, the energy that feels off, the support that disappears when you need it most, and the loyalty that only shows up when it’s convenient. This isn’t about paranoia, it’s about protection.
But we’re not stopping there. I’m also challenging you to look in the mirror and ask the real question, are you being a good friend? Because real friendships aren’t built on convenience, clout, or constant validation, they’re built on honesty, consistency, and growth.
If you’ve been hurt, betrayed, or disappointed by people you trusted, this episode will help you heal without becoming bitter, set boundaries without guilt, and choose real connections that add to your life instead of draining it.
