How to Handle Your Inner Circle Holding You Back – Episode 6: You’ve got big dreams, and you’re putting in the work, but when it comes to support, your inner circle isn’t exactly what you need. In this episode, we break down how to handle the relationships that are unintentionally holding you back—even when they claim to have your best interests at heart.

In Episode 6 of Being Relatable, we’re getting real about the people in your life who might not be aligned with your goals and how to handle that. Whether it’s your coworkers, long-time friends, or even your partner—sometimes, the people closest to you might not be the support system you need to move forward.

You’ll learn:

  • How to tell if your coworkers are supporting your growth (or just offering fake praise)
  • Why long-time friends may not “get” the new version of you, and how to navigate that
  • What to do when your partner’s actions are unintentionally undermining your dreams
  • Actionable steps to assess, communicate, and make changes in your relationships for better support

Whether you’re navigating your career, evolving friendships, or seeking more support in your romantic relationship, this episode will help you assess your inner circle and take the necessary steps to surround yourself with people who are aligned with your vision.
