Are you the villain—or are you so committed to being seen as good that you haven’t questioned how you show up?Sometimes we withhold the truth, avoid setting boundaries, and call it kindness. We say “I understand” while quietly building resentment. We keep the peace until maintaining it becomes somebody else’s responsibility.What happens to a relationship when looking like a good person becomes more important than practicing honesty, accountability, and care?In this episode, we’re talking about people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and the harm we can cause while trying to keep our “good person” identity intact.Ask yourself: Where am I choosing to be perceived as good at the expense of being truthful?👇 What has trying to be “the understanding one” cost you? Share what you’re comfortable sharing in the comments.I’m also developing an eight-week cohort around self-abandonment—how we lose ourselves in our relationships, and how we practice showing up without leaving ourselves behind. More on that soon.It’s just information.

s9 ep 31 Death by A thousand cuts - Silent severance of relationships Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

It's never about the spilled milk... Sometimes the relationship has spoiled over time. Relationships - of all kind - exist and expire because of one thing: Repetition. How many times has something come up that wasn't repaired? How many bids for connection dismissed? How many important things forgotten. We talk a lot about intention but impact has it's place; And we can discover the true impact of our participation in our connections. I have limited open availability for 1:1 coaching. If there is one thing, or many, there's space to work through it.

Relationships were never meant to be pie charts, but connection and intimacy have significant data points. And noticeable patterns.When the discussion arises about the "give and take" in our interpersonal relationships, there are some things worth keeping an eye on.

Bird Brain s9 ep 29 364: Are we man enough for friendship ? Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

Most people get older, but not everyone grows up. And at some point, I think it’s important to recognize that relational negligence isn’t a biological trait assigned by gender as much as it is a societal disposition that can be taught. When it comes to friendship amongst men, stoicism can be saying the quiet part out loud. What do you desire from friendship that you might be afraid to actually ask for or give?

Bird Brain s9 ep 28 363: The dark side of Self awareness Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

elationships require responsibility and awareness, but are we are of what we are communicating to one another in our connections? What do we expect from others?What do we expect from ourselves?What are we willing to give to others?Self-awareness has some fine print to it.

Bird Brain s9 Ep 27 362: What's keeping us close? Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Sometimes you may feel closer to people than you actually are. It can be disappointing, confusing, and even disheartening. But how do you know the difference?Our interpersonal relationships exist because of the things we consider important: Enjoyment, proximity, love, and desire. But there are other components that are just as necessary if not more. Sometimes your relationships are missing them and while there may be substitutions that fill in the blanks, they don't create as strong of a bond.

Bird Brain s9 EP 25 (360) : The Friendship Test Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

If I asked you, “Would you be your own friend?” most people would immediately answer “hell yeah!” I’m a great friend! And then proceed to list all the ways they’re dope. Some people would honestly answer “no,” and then the question becomes: “So what do you expect from others that you’d be unequipped to provide in return?”Society is a melting pot of everyone seeking the same thing: Connection. But society is also ran on this idea of how connection is supposed to work.
