From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya riff on talking with friends and other tips about strengthening these relationships with renowned relationship expert Dr. Heather Browne. We discussed how important it is for our friendships that we work on ourselves--and bring a better version of ourselves to our relationships. We also learned that a conversation starts before you've even said the first words. And how important it is that before we speak we consider how we are feeling.

Dr. Heather Browne is a psychotherapist and a mother who is excellent at helping people change sticky thought processes and see the other side of challenging situations. Her specialties are couples communication and intimacy, grief and loss, spirituality and faith, and transforming lives into expressions of beauty and joy. She uses metaphor, storytelling, imagery, and humor in her work. Her greatest desire is to support you in drawing closer to your true self, your inner wisdom, and your purpose. Our lives are an amazing adventure and blessing, given freely to us to explore and to share love, our uniqueness, and our stories.

You can find Dr. Browne on her website, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn.

From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya are joined by Juli Shulem to talk about what productivity has to do with friendships.

Listen in as we talk about the importance of scheduling time with friends--it helps us stay connected with each other and also helps reduce feelings of being overwhelmed. And, we also learn about Juli's pen pal, who she has written letters to for the past 43 yeras. Quite a friendship!

Juli is a speaker and productivity coach who helps her clients organize their lives, using one-on-one coaching, group coaching, workshops, and seminars.  She sometimes calls upon her previous career as a business consultant and her degree in industrial organizational psychology to teach the skills that will help her clients level up.  She moves people out of the messy place they are in so they can get out of their own way.

You can learn more about Juli on her website Coach Juli, on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn. You can email her at: [email protected].

From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya riff about adulting and why friendships matter with coach, speaker, and mentor Sara Deacon.

We had such a great time talking with Sara and we learned about Sara's work with teens and young adults, how friend and peer relationships are so influential at that time of life, and how our choices of friends matter. We also talked about how being an adult means creating an identity that isn't related to school or sports.

Sara is the Adulting Coach, and she empowers young people to design their own lives based on who they are, independent of other people's expectations.

You can reach Sara via her website: SaraDeacon.com or email her: [email protected]. Or follow her on social media:  Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, or YouTube.
