This week’s conversation turns into a debate about toxic relationships, crazy exes, revenge behavior, workplace sabotage, former opps becoming friends, and whether venting about your friends counts as talking behind their back.Jocelyn shares the story of trying to get a coworker fired before karma immediately came back around at another job, including finding out she got passed over for a promotion because the VP hired her own daughter instead. Jade explains why she refuses to deal with people with crazy exes, and somehow the conversation turns into stolen pets, emotional burnout, social batteries, and why adult friendships can feel exhausting even when you genuinely love your people.If you’ve ever dealt with messy relationships, toxic workplaces, exhausting friendships, or feeling like adulthood is just one long chaotic group chat, this episode is for you.A Girls Perspective, AGP, In My Opinion, Hot Takes, Friendship struggles, Vibe Tribe, Friends yapping, Black Girl Podcast, Adulthood struggles, Single Life, Friendship Problems Podcast, Toxic Friends Podcast, Adulting Podcast, Finding your people, Build a community.Two lives.
