In this powerful Room2Breathe episode, we’re diving deep into the emotional crossroads so many of us reach but rarely talk about out loud: when friendship starts feeling like customer service.
If you’ve been the strong friend… the reliable friend… the “safe space” for everyone else… while carrying your own storms in silence, this episode is your reminder:
You don’t work here.
Not emotionally.
Not spiritually.
Not anymore.
We’ll unpack how overgiving, people-pleasing, and being the designated “listener” turns friendships into full-time jobs you never applied for. We’ll explore why you’ve been treated like customer service — the one who answers every call, fixes every crisis, holds every secret — while receiving crumbs of support in return.
This conversation will help you:
� Recognize when you’re being used, not valued
� Understand emotional labor in friendships
� Stop being everyone’s safe space when they aren’t safe for you
� Set boundaries without guilt
� Choose reciprocity instead of responsibility
� Heal the part of you that thought you had to earn love
� Release friendships that only grew because YOU watered them
If you’re ready to reclaim your peace, your voice, and your space, this episode is for you.
