What happens when life's hardships reveal who's really standing in your corner? Today I'm diving deep into the nature of true friendship and how profound loss taught me to distinguish genuine connections from superficial ones.
After losing my parents, the silence from certain "friends" spoke volumes. No condolences, no check-ins, nothing. This painful experience became a powerful filter, clarifying who deserved a place in my life moving forward. When I began distancing myself from these fair-weather friends, their reactions—backlash, gossip, and shade—only confirmed what I already knew: they were never truly there for me.
Contrast this with the relationships that have sustained me for decades. My best friend Tree has been by my side for 30 years. My colleague Win has shown up consistently through life's darkest moments. These connections share something profound—mutual commitment that withstands any challenge. As I tell my listeners: never sacrifice these precious, genuine friendships for temporary people who won't be there when it matters.
I'm also excited to announce we'll soon release Part 2 of a military story that stirred significant controversy. Despite attempts to silence this narrative, we're committed to bringing you the full story. Additionally, our upcoming episode on domestic violence awareness aims to shed light on another crucial issue affecting many lives.
