I Don't Hang Around Victims Anymore: It's a Disease
For years, I believed I could grow without altering my surroundings. This mindset kept me stuck between who I was and who I aspired to be. In this episode, I discuss why you're not evolving, how friendships rooted in victimhood can undermine your progress, and my journey to stop pleasing people who drained me.
If you're transitioning, starting a business, or outgrowing your past and wondering why growth feels lonely, this episode is for you.
Because true alignment begins with your environment, and the right people will energize, not drain you.
