The truth is your friendships, career, and relationship with yourself all deserve the same level of discernment. This episode is about learning to communicate your needs, noticing when something never fully feels right, and giving yourself permission to walk away even when nothing is “that bad.” Because you’re not too picky.. you just have high standards, and honoring them will make your life a whole lot healthier.
