This week, we're talking about one-sided friendships, adult loneliness, and the difference between a friend and an associate. Jocelyn shares the Reddit story that hit too close to home, the beer fest trip her whole friend group took without her, and the day she told them she was done doing all the reaching out. Jade brings the fire on workplace competition, gatekeeping coworkers, and why she will teach you everything she knows and still bet on herself. Plus a big announcement about the future of the show, straight from us to the Vibe Tribe first.
Whether you're navigating friendship problems, corporate burnout, or figuring out who actually shows up for you, this episode will feel like sitting with two friends who truly get it.
