71 | Real Talk with My Lifelong Friend: Gossip, Boundaries, and Gut Checks in Female Friendships - with Kina Thornton Frazier


Listen Later

In this episode of The Friendship Tour, I'm joined again by my lifelong friend, Kina Thornton Frazier. Together, we take a walk down memory lane, reflect on nearly three decades of friendship, and share our thoughts about what makes (or breaks) new friendships.

From setting healthy boundaries to trusting your instincts, Kina and I talk through some red flags in new relationships and why pacing matters.


Whether you’re navigating the early stages of friendship or wondering whether to walk away, this conversation will give you something to think about.

🧭 What You’ll Hear In This Episode:
  • One of my favorite friendship moments with Kina💕

  • How the normal new friendship learning curve "exhaustion" differs from red flags 🚩

  • The difference between being an initiator and being too intense

  • Why gut feelings and discernment matter more than a friendship checklist

  • The 5 red flags Kina and I look out for in new friendships
  • 🛠️ Practical Application:

    Use both wisdom and discernment when building new friendships—and don’t ignore the signs. Every friend isn’t your forever friend, and that’s okay.
