Protecting the friend within-Part 3: The Messy Middle of Change

You’ve started speaking up. Saying no. Setting boundaries.
But now it feels…awkward. Uncomfortable. Not quite right yet.
That’s the messy middle of change—where you’re trying to do things differently, but the old habits still pull you back.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why the middle part of change feels so hard

• How resistance shows up even when you're doing better

• What to do when you're second-guessing yourself

• Real tools to practice when you’re caught between shrinking, snapping, or staying silent

This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about protecting your peace—even when it’s messy.
Let’s walk through it together.
