• Why some “friends” only support you while you’re struggling

• Misery loves company — and needs you dysfunctional

• How to judge people by what they do, not what they say

• The powerful “standing in shit” analogy for cleaning up your life

• Why better people start showing up the moment you change

If you’ve ever felt alone after deciding to get better, this episode explains exactly why — and how to attract the right people instead.
