Bird Brain | S9 E14 (349) The Mirror Test - Why Your Relationships Reflect You

About this episode

This episode explores how our relationships reflect our own behaviors and the importance of consistency and effort in maintaining them.

You keep saying people don’t show up for you… but have you looked at how you show up for them? In this episode, we break down the uncomfortable truth behind adult friendships and relationships: many of them don’t fail because of conflict—they fail because of a lack of discipline. But also about who we value, and who we overlook because of it. Sometimes we dismiss and downplay the presence of people who don’t look like who we desire it from. Consistency. Effort. Communication. Accountability. This isn’t about blaming yourself for everything. It’s about recognizing where you’re participating in the patterns you say you don’t want. Because your relationships aren’t random… they’re reflective. Follow along at my Subtack: https://substack.com/@fromthebirdbrain
