Friendship Red Flags You Need to Stop Ignoring

Friendship breakups can be just as painful as romantic ones (sometimes even more painful.) We're taught to look out for the red flags in relationships, but we don't talk nearly enough about the red flags that show up in unhealthy friendships.

In this episode, I'm breaking down four types of friends you should look out for..
1. the friend who resents your growth
2. the friend who turns everything into a competition
3. the friend who constantly talks badly about their other friends
4. the friendship "love bomber"

Whether you're navigating friendship struggles in your 20s, healing from a friendship breakup, or learning how to build healthier relationships, this episode will hopefully help you recognize toxic patterns in friendship. If you've ever questioned whether a friendship is helping you grow or holding you back, this episode is for you. ❤️‍🩹
