What If Your Friend Isn’t Toxic… and You Just Had a Really Hard Conversation?

Episode What If Your Friend Isn’t Toxic… and You Just Had a Really Hard Conversation?
In this episode, Sarah Parkhurst and Whitney Gay, LCSW, dive into the world of therapy speak and the ways words like boundaries, triggered, trauma dumping, and protecting my peace can sometimes bring clarity—and sometimes keep us from taking accountability.
Have we started labeling normal friendship conflict as something deeper? Is saying "I was triggered" easier than saying "I overreacted"? Is "we're just not aligned" sometimes code for "I stopped showing up"?
Join us for an honest, thoughtful, and occasionally uncomfortable conversation about healthy boundaries, real accountability, and why the strongest friendships aren't the ones without conflict—they're the ones willing to repair after it.
Because maybe they're not toxic. Maybe they're just human.
