Friendship or Wound Sharing? How to Build Bonds That Heal, Not Hurt

In this episode, Fawn and Matt explore the hidden trap of shared wound friendships—when relationships form around mutual pain instead of growth. We unpack why bonding over past struggles might feel like fate but often keeps us stuck in cycles of sorrow.

Fawn and Matt share personal stories and practical tips on how to spot when a friendship is rooted in pain instead of resilience. From limiting co-rumination to seeking growth-oriented connections, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that true friendships help us evolve, not replay the same wounds.

You’ll learn:

  • Why bonding over shared pain can feel comforting but ultimately limiting.

  • How to balance empathy with moving forward.

  • Simple strategies to shift conversations from rehashing trauma to inspiring growth.

  • The importance of mixing your community with both understanding friends and resilient role models.

This episode is for anyone who has ever mistaken shared struggles for soul-level connection—and is ready to build healthier, more uplifting relationships.
