210 | Friendship Goals: Reloaded (Part Six): The Pains of Friendship Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

When it comes to friendship, things aren't always sweet. We're bringing this series to a close by discussing common friendship 'pain points,' from jealousy to having unrealistic expectations for a friend. We aren't excluded from these pains, no matter how close we get to somebody. It's only right that we unpack the good AND the challenging parts of friendship! We'll discuss these pain points, share our personal experiences with them and provide you with a tool kit should you experience anything similar with your friends.

Last week, we talked with our homegirl Les of Balanced Black Girl Podcast to hear about her journey of finding new friends in adulthood: https://stream.redcircle.com/episodes/6bd5c951-c6dd-4305-a9d7-007ed6a77825/stream.mp3

209 | Friendship Goals: Reloaded (Part Five): New Friends in Adulthood with Les of Balanced Black Girl Sep 20, 2021

Show notes

Making friends seems to get harder as we grow older. It could be because we become more mature... or maybe we get more specific with what we want out of our friendships. In this episode, we talk with our homegirl Les of Balanced Black Girl Podcast to hear about her journey of finding new friends in a new city and how she approaches going out of her comfort zone to begin new friendships. She drops gems, we laugh and we figure this friendship thing out together! If you want to hear more, head over to Les's side of the internet where we guest on her podcast. It's available on all streaming platforms!

Show notes

As we grow older, we evolve as people. We change, our environments change and so do our friendships. Have you ever considered how the process of making friends has changed as you grew up? What about the quality of your friends as opposed to the quantity? Consider the friendships you've had throughout the years and reflect upon your current friendships as we discuss the phases of friendship and what to expect from friendships in each phase of life.

204 | Thriving over Surviving (Part Six): Miss Moving On Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

This week, we're talking about letting go and moving on. We've been in situations that were easy to let go of. We've also been in situations for longer than we should have been because we were scared to leave and look for an alternative. Moving on is easier said than done, homegirls. In this episode, we talk about our personal experiences with letting go, moving forward and growing out of what once was.

Although this series is coming to an end, the work that we have to do to thrive continues. We hope you gained as much from this series as we did!

Last week, we talked about how tired we are of choosing. If you've never heard of decision fatigue, tune in and find out what it is: https://stream.redcircle.com/episodes/0bdf46d1-8eb9-44e8-81b5-6681a1491af7/stream.mp3
