We’re talking honestly about how the lifestyle changes people over time… and how sometimes the most mature, healthiest decision is admitting that something that once worked no longer does. This episode covers: Why opening up isn’t always linear Closing doors without calling it failure Burnout, health, finances, kids, and shifting priorities Changing boundaries without blowing everything up Taking breaks, leaving the lifestyle, or redefining what it looks like for you Why conditional consent is still valid And why outgrowing something doesn’t mean you failed This is a real, grounded conversation — not clickbait, not fantasy, not pressure. ❤️ SUPPORT THE SHOW If you value honest conversations like this, the best way to support the podcast is through: 👉 YouTube Memberships – badges, emojis, early access, priority chat 👉 Patreon – help keep the show independent and improving 👉 Super Chats during live shows Links are below.
