POV: I decided to let them!

If I stop doing the work and the friendship dies… it was already dead. I was just the only one performing CPR.

Welcome to 2026. This year, we aren’t just setting boundaries; we’re auditing our inner circles. In this episode of Brutally Me, we’re diving into the "Let Them" Theory - a radical approach to self-respect that requires you to stop chasing, stop over-explaining, and stop doing 70% of the work for people only giving you 30%.

I’m getting honest about the exhaustion of one-sided friendships and the moment I realized that "being a good friend" was actually a form of self-disrespect. If you’re tired of being a "Professional Maintainer" for people who treat you like an option, this episode is your survival guide.
