Can your friends actually help you become more successful in life? The answer is a resounding yes — especially when those friendships are rooted in mutual growth, encouragement, and accountability.

In this inspiring episode of The Friendship Tour, I’m joined by my friend Michelle Dallas for a conversation on the principle of “iron sharpens iron.” We explore how the people closest to us can push us forward, help refine our goals, and hold us accountable — all while celebrating what makes each of us unique.

Together, we discuss:

💬 How friendships can motivate us to grow and evolve

⚡ The importance of surrounding yourself with people who challenge and inspire you

👯‍♀️ Why being in community with high-character, high-purpose friends can elevate your life

🌟 Ways to be that “iron-sharpening” friend to someone else

If you’ve ever wondered whether your friendships are helping you move forward or holding you back, this episode is for you.

After the episode, let’s keep the conversation going in the Women, Friendship, and Community Facebook group. I’d love to hear about a friend who encourages YOU to succeed in life.
