In this heartfelt and unfiltered episode of Hold My Purse, Rho shares a personal story from an extended vacation that turned into an unexpected lesson in self-awareness, emotional boundaries, and energetic protection. What started as a dream vacation quickly became a wake-up call—a reminder that some friendships expire, and that’s okay.

💡 Inside the episode, you’ll discover:

• How travel acts as an x-ray for relationships 🧳
• Signs someone is draining your energy instead of pouring into you
• Gentle but powerful ways to set boundaries without guilt
• Rituals and reflections to help you release resentment and reclaim your peace
