Is this friendship draining you? (4 Signs to watch for 👀)

Dec 03, 2025 12:01 pm

Have you ever left a hangout feeling more exhausted than when you arrived?

We’ve all had friends who are going through a tough time, but there is a big difference between a friend who needs support and a friendship that is toxic.

On yesterday's episode of Coaching for Teen Girls, we continued our Friendship Files series. We’re moving past the "frenemy" stage (which we covered in Episode 47) and talking about the relationships that leave you feeling anxious, drained, and constantly second-guessing yourself.

Episode 49 covers:

Why "on-demand" attention is a major red flag.
The danger of the "just kidding" put-down.
How to spot the difference between normal drama and emotional manipulation.
Practical steps to protect your peace if this sounds familiar.

✨ ANNOUNCEMENTS ✨

First, a huge congratulations to Kylie S., the winner of our November drawing for 2 free coaching sessions! Keep an eye on your inbox for details!
Second, mark your calendars for FRIDAY. We're hitting a huge milestone - Episode 50!

To celebrate, we aren't just talking about how to find healthy friendships (the silver lining to this series!); I’m also launching a special, FLASH SALE! It’s going to be too good to miss, so make sure you tune in on Friday.

You deserve friendships that make you feel safe, valued, and happy. Let’s make sure your circle reflects that.

xo,

Kristen
