Have you ever had someone switch up on you the moment you set a boundary?

In this episode of The Main Character Experience™ Podcast, we’re getting real about what it means when a relationship you valued turns out to be… transactional.

Because let’s be honest—
 it doesn’t just hurt.
 It confuses you. It frustrates you. And if you’re not careful, it’ll have you questioning yourself instead of the behavior.

In this conversation, we’re unpacking:

  •  Why some people only show up when you’re overgiving 
  •  What their reaction to your “no” is actually revealing 
  •  How to process anger, disappointment, and disrespect in a healthy way 
  •  And how to hold boundaries without abandoning yourself in the process 

This is your reminder that access to you is not a right—it’s a privilege.

If you’ve been navigating friendship shifts, emotional burnout, or realizing you’ve been the “safe place” for people who weren’t safe for you… this episode is going to meet you right where you are.
