Are you showing up as yourself in your friendships or as the version you think people will like the most?
This week on the Friendship University Podcast, Christan and Tarrah dive deep into the masks we wear, the boundaries we avoid, and the people-pleasing habits that quietly damage our relationships.

We’re talking honesty, vulnerability, artistic authenticity, and the courage it takes to be loved for who you truly are, not who you pretend to be.

In this episode:

• Friendship Advice: How to handle a friend who constantly needs emotional support

• People-pleasing vs. real connection: why saying “yes” all the time weakens friendships

• Artist Corner: The beauty of honesty in creativity - The song, the story, or the moment you were scared to share often becomes the one that touches people most

• Unmasking yourself: showing up with honesty, discernment, and alignment

• The difference between healthy compromise and losing yourself to be accepted

Homework Assignment:
Write out the behaviors you use as a mask — and decide which ones are helping you grow, and which ones are protecting your dysfunction.
