Description

In this powerful and intimate episode, we dive into the subtle trap of misalignment—the kind that doesn’t scream but slowly erodes your peace, especially within long-term relationships and friendships.

I share the story of a friendship that once felt like everything I had prayed for—a sisterhood, a sanctuary, a soul-aligned bond—but over time, became emotionally draining, unbalanced, and quietly harmful.
Through vulnerability and spiritual reflection, I explore how easy it is to overlook misalignment when it hides behind loyalty, history, and comfort.

If you’ve ever felt the ache of staying in a relationship that no longer feeds your soul—this episode is for you. We unpack how misalignment often speaks through unease, tension, and emotional depletion… and how God gently nudges us back toward peace, truth, and wholeness.


What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

  • The real reason we ignore emotional misalignment in relationships

  • Why letting go can feel like betrayal—but staying often is

  • How to recognize when your soul is shrinking in someone’s presence

  • Why expired friendships are often the clearest signs of misalignment

  • How to discern the difference between comfort and divine alignment

  • What it means to grieve a friendship with grace, not guilt

    3. What would it look like to honor the ending of a friendship without making yourself or them wrong?

  • 4. What have you been tolerating out of fear of change?


  • Next Week:
  • We’re closing out the series with a deep exploration into what it actually looks and feels like to live in alignment—not the curated version, but the real, messy, soul-anchored version of peace. You won’t want to miss it.
