113. A Guide to Real Connection: 8 Ways to Check In Without Being Weird
In this episode, you and I discuss how to actually be there for your strong friends. And not that surface level 'how are you?' text energy, but the genuine checking-in that your day-ones deserve. We're talking everything from how to celebrate their wins (even when they try to play them off), to respecting their space (without ghosting them), to making it okay for them to not have it all together (because baby, none of us do). Whether you're the friend everyone runs to with their drama, or you've got that friend who's everybody's backbone, this episode is for you.

Today, we're going to have a real conversation about breaking free from these patterns that our mothers and grandmothers before us struggled with too. By the end of this episode, you'll have practical ways to set boundaries without guilt, specific phrases to use when you need to say no (and mean it), and most importantly, permission to put yourself first.

108. High-Maintenance vs. Low-Maintenance Friendships: What’s the Difference?
Friendship is a beautiful thing, but let’s be real—some friendships can be more work than others. We’ve all had those friends who need constant check-ins, and then there are the ones you don’t talk to for weeks (or months) and pick up right where you left off like no time has passed. Both types of friendships have their pros and cons, and understanding where they fall on the maintenance spectrum can save you a lot of headaches. Let’s dive into what makes a friendship high-maintenance versus low-maintenance, and how you can navigate both in a way that keeps your friendships thriving.

107. Let’s Talk About Overcoming Unresolved Trauma
Today, you and I are going to discuss how to BEGIN to overcome unresolved trauma.

This is a heavy topic, but I promise we will tackle it together. We might need to make this a series or even a live podcast with some special guests.
