This episode is about finding our people and the community we as humans so vitally need. Cindy Esliger talks about the key ingredient required for all relationships, why we are hardwired to belong, and explores the types of people we each need around us. “​​Connecting with people can be challenging, but your people are out there.”

Cindy acknowledges that we carry a lot of fear with us due to past betrayal or hurt. We seek the approval of others but are also afraid of giving others the power to injure us again. However, Cindy encourages us to take the risk with cautious open minds. There are five types of people we need in our lives that we should be on the lookout for: the cheerleaders, the allies, the mentors, the advocates, and the supporters. 

Friendships change as we age and not everyone is with us for our whole journey. Be ready to let friends go when it’s necessary. If you can’t depend on them, they don’t support who you are, or they demean you, take a step back from them. She has sage advice on how to find new people to fulfill us even when our instinct is to build a wall and not trust anyone. Listen to this episode and learn the importance of growth, embracing who you are, and reaching out to people who both share your interests and expand your perspectives.
