This episode is about finally getting out of your own way. The thoughts, the patterns, the need to be right, the fear of being misunderstood — we go there. If you’ve been feeling stuck, emotionally drained, or like you're constantly performing for people who don’t even see you, this is your moment to pause, reflect, and release.

Let this be your sign to stop trying to earn peace and just start living in it.

You know that feeling when someone skips your story and suddenly your whole nervous system goes into crisis mode? Same. In this episode, Bria spirals (lovingly) about how social media is messing with our friendships. The soft blocks, the shared activity feature, the mute button, and that quiet panic when you realize someone you love hasn't engaged with your content in a year.

From the paranoia of "did I do something" to the heartbreak of realizing you might have been muted after having a baby, Bria unpacks how the digital age has turned our friendships into passive performances. It's not just vanity. It's overstimulation, blurred boundaries, and connection fatigue. This is for anyone who’s ever questioned where they stand with someone because of a like or lack thereof.

Whether you're feeling muted, misunderstood, or just plain over it, this is your safe space. Grab a matcha, mute your ego, and let’s talk about it.

MY SKIN ROUTINE: https://liketk.it/5e7tZ

In this episode, I’m unpacking the unspoken parts of pregnancy, postpartum, and the identity shift no one prepares you for. From the physical changes to the mental chaos, to the quiet question of “will I ever feel like myself again?” This is my honest take on the messy, beautiful, and often isolating journey of becoming someone new. Not the old me… but maybe someone even better.

Because I Love You is the podcast where tough love meets tender truths. Hosted by Bria Jones, this is your safe space to unpack the messy, moody, and magical parts of being human — from personal glow-ups and identity crises to spiritual awakenings and petty realizations. Nothing is off limits… because Bria loves you enough to keep it real.
