Outgrowing your friends can hurt even when you know it is right.
Growth can mean fewer invites and hard choices.
In Episode 91 of The Wisdom of Wrench Podcast, Kevin Comerford and co-host Amanda Meyer share the real cost of changing your circle. In this second installment of this three part series, they explain the law of association, the strain of managing former friends, and why criticism can send you back to old habits. Learn how to stay focused on your family and your goals when change feels hard. A simple exercise helps you see who lifts you up, who holds you back, and who you want to spend more time with as you build a better future.
