After the Barely Famous alum shared her desire to cut people from her life, her and Erin’s podcast guest—It Ends With Us director and actor Justin Baldoni—said he understood what Sara meant. “I think that’s beautiful,” he said. “I absolutely relate to that and I had that journey as well.”
Sara continued, “I’m just craving f–king deep, hard conversations. And I think because I’ve avoided hard conversations my entire life, I’m like, ‘If you’re here to small-talk, you’re out. You’re f–king out.’ I need to go deep or we’re not going.”
Justin’s wife, Emily Baldoni, then weighed in as well. “I want to jump in and support you on your journey,” she said. “I call it pruning. And when you are on such a deep journey in your life and you are changing, unfortunately we have to prune so many people and situations out of our life.
She continued, “Of course, there’s a loving way of doing it. But there will be so many people who will not hold you in the place that you are in. And that’s really important to be able to set those boundaries.”
