In this episode of Mutually Unhinged: Friendships, Betrayal, and Healing After Toxic Relationships, we dive into how to recognize toxic friendships, set boundaries, and reclaim your energy.

No literally.. We’re talking about those “friends” you’ve been carrying around for decades who were never actually in your corner. 

Not all friends are really your friends. We’re unpacking the truth about toxic friendships, fake friends, and why people-pleasing kept us stuck way too long.

From 30-year friendships that turned sour to the final straws that set us free, we’re sharing:

🚩 Red flags of a toxic friend


💔 How to know when it’s time to walk away


🔑 Why cutting ties is the ultimate glow-up

If your “friend” is holding you back instead of cheering you on, this episode will help you spot the signs, stop the cycle, and break out before you burn out.

Finally, Episode 8 is the go-to episode next, because this is where all of this shows up in real life situations like holidays, expectations, and triggers.
