Bird Brain | S8E26(325):The Space Between: Balancing Growth, Gratitude, and Uncertainty
Life isn’t always about extremes—it’s not just “I’m struggling” or “I’ve made it.”Sometimes you’re in that in-between space where you’re grateful, connected, and doing well, but also asking big questions: Am I capable of my goals? Are certain relationships aligned? How do I love people well without losing myself?It’s a mix of richness and restlessness—and that space itself is worth talking about because it’s where most people actually live.

Bird Brain | S8E23(322): Friends in "Crisis" not Connection
Some people don’t want a relationship with you; they want a relationship with what you can do for them. They show up in tears, in chaos, in need… but vanish in your joy or need for support/ stability. In this episode, we unpack why people only seem to call when they’re in crisis, the subtle emotional contracts that keep you over-giving, and how to set boundaries that protect your energy without losing your compassion.
