053. Is It Time to Cut the Cord In Your Relationships?

How do you prioritize your connections? How do we accept where we are, the relationships we have or don’t have, and learn from them? 

In this episode, we talk about the various complexities of life, love, grief, loss and personal growth. We explore the importance of carefully choosing who to keep in our close circle of friends, setting boundaries and recognizing those who genuinely uplift and support us – which are all vital elements in nurturing healthy connections.

We also talk about breaking free from repetitive habits that we don't enjoy, the legacy we wish to leave behind and the impact we want to have on others. 

We confront the challenging decision of knowing when it's time to let go of a relationship, the signs, and considering various factors to help us prioritize our well-being and personal growth.
