In this candid and deeply personal episode of Our Friendly World with Fawn and Matt, we explore the emotional weight of guilt and the complex ties of obligation in relationships—especially those we maintain out of duty rather than genuine connection. Fawn shares her journey of breaking away from toxic dynamics, the haunting echoes of guilt that follow, and the eventual freedom that comes with setting healthy boundaries. Matt introduces the concept of the “empty jacket,” a form of emotional self-protection. Together, they discuss how to uphold your code of conduct with compassion while choosing joy over guilt. If you've ever struggled with cutting ties or managing relationships that drain your spirit, this conversation will offer clarity, comfort, and actionable insight.
