In this episode, I share stories and lessons on an area of life that matters to all of us — friendship. I discuss how to honor, but differentiate friendships that are built on a circumstance or a chapter of life, from those that are built to last time, distance and life experiences. This is a great episode for reflecting on the types of friendships that you have in your life, and to think about what you value most in your friends. You can do some soul-searching on what you bring to your friendships, which ones might be worth pouring more energy into, and what relationships might have lost their strength or connection. It's important to have friends to do daily life with, who know what you have going on at work or home without a ton of explanation. These are friends to catch up over lunch, go for a walk, go to a workout, or hang with your families, etc. Those kinds of daily friendships knit us together with others in our community. It''s important to have another level or layer of friends who you trust and value on a deeper level that you know love you without jealousy or judgement.

"Certain friendships in your life and mine. These are friendships that last the test of time. They last distance, miles, states in between you, and they last through different and even difficult life experiences." - Trina

Key points:

• Lasting friendships are those that withstand time, distance, and life changes, providing mutual respect, love, care, and trust.

• Friendships can be based on different life stages or circumstances, and it's natural for some to fade as life evolves, while others remain strong.

• The most enduring friendships are built on genuine support, lack of jealousy or judgment, and a shared desire for each other's growth and happiness.
