Not every “Amen” is a blessing. Not every “Yes” is in your best interest. In this episode of On the Other Side of Anyway, we’re talking about the people who hype you up, co-sign everything you say, and always have your back—but are they really helping you grow?
Because sometimes, the loudest cheers come from the wrong crowd. And if you’re not careful, you’ll mistake validation for wisdom and encouragement for truth.
Join me as we unpack what it really means to have the right people in your corner. The kind that will push you toward growth, challenge you when necessary, and keep you from making decisions that feel good but lead nowhere.
Are the voices around you keeping you comfortable or calling you higher?
Let’s talk about it. 🎧
🎧 Press play & let’s uncover what’s beneath the surface.
