What happens when empathy isn't a superpower—but a silent trap? In this heart-tugging, brain-sparking episode of Life as P..., Phoenix Ash holds nothing back. From the silent tug-of-war between empathy and self-preservation to the unexpected guilt of breaking up with the “perfect-on-paper” partner, this episode unpacks the emotional gymnastics many of us perform just to keep others comfortable. She’s getting real about how being the “safe place” can become unsafe for you—and why letting go doesn’t always mean giving up. Expect sharp self-reflection, dating drama with a moral compass, and that Phoenix-level maturity check we all secretly need. Bonus? She’s got updates on her latest audiobook drop and more from her collection that’ll have you screaming “TAKE MY MONEY.” Craving clarity with a side of soul food? This one’s for you.
