Diane’s father told her a person could count their true friends on one hand and probably have some fingers left over, of course, with most advice that her dad gave her growing up, she didn't think that was true. Over the years, as she looked back on her friendships- she realized he was right. It’s helped her to come to learn the importance of those friendships. The people that you can be authentic with, the ones that you can have courageous conversations with, that will be honest with you (even when it stings a little), are the most valuable connections you can strive for.

Today on The Fire Inside Her, you get to meet one of Diane’s oldest and dearest friends, whom she would truly place in the “ride or die” category. As they chat, you will learn more about where they grew up, the things they’ve been through together, and some things they have learned to value in their friendship. You will also get glimpses of a woman Diane values and admires, partially because of her ability to show up bravely and be herself. They touch on the importance of who you have at your table, the moments you need to value as they occur (because they quickly slip by), and what makes a community. They reflect a bit on parenting, the need to give back, the ways we define ourselves, and how to navigate the seasons of our lives. They even take small glances at trauma and privilege two very different actors that can affect us in ways we often don’t recognize. There is much to be gained by joining this valuable conversation.
