Friendshipable

From Project BFF HQ Terri and Manya riff on what kinds of activities we can do with the rest of summer.

That is something those of us who live in the northeast, with our cold and snowy winters and rather short summers, think about a lot.

From a street corner not far from Fenway Park, Terri + Manya riff on friendships and the kinds of activities we do together, and get excited about seeing each other in person, five months since the last time we were together in person.

And we wish the Red Sox well in their game. We had a great time at the game (hot dogs were eaten and beer was drunk). The Miami Marlins won 2-0.

From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya speak with Shari Leid a life coach, friendship expert, author, speaker, attorney, and the force behind the 50 States Project. We talked with her about halfway through this amazing project in which Shari sits down with one woman in each of the fifty states to have meaningful conversations and learn more about each woman, her family, and community.

We had a fabulous conversation and we also discussed some of the things Shari has learned through the project including the importance of casual friendships in our lives, how to make the first move when you want to start a friendship, and how to find the common threads we share with others.

Learn more about Shari on her website: An Imperfectly Perfect Life and learn more about the 50 States Project. You can also find Shari on Instagram.

From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya chat with Amy Behimer, a certified health coach, pharmacist,  autoimmune warrior, and founder of the Autoimmune Academy.  We discussed using our empathy muscle, how humans are wired to belong, and minimizing decision fatigue about friend relationships by scheduling time for joy and connection.

We also talked about setting boundaries and saying no; or saying no for now, but not forever. And also find out how Amy sometimes sets up a Plan B for activities with friends, and when they won't let her get away with it.

Amy is committed to helping her clients increase the quality of time spent on their health so you can increase the quantity of time spent enjoying it. She helps her clients  gain energy, clarity, and confidence to create physical and emotional health to enable people to feel better and love their life, even with autoimmune disease.

From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya talk with Dan Garbati, a coach, mentor, and creator of the “Happiness Comes in Threes” journaling method. We talk about social media and the illusion of friendship and how half of Americans were feeling lonely even before the pandemic.

We are made of stories and according to Dan journaling is an extremely powerful tool and as close to magic as it gets. Grab a pen and paper and listen for the journaling exercise he walked us through.

Dan Garbati is the creator of the “Happiness Comes in Threes” journaling method, which helps individuals reframe a self-defeating story into a self-empowering one. He is a professional coach and mentor, dedicated to helping people reach their fullest potential. Dan sometimes moves his coaching sessions beyond the traditional office or videoconference (with permission of course)--to include exciting adventures such as skydiving, trapeze flying, improv acting, hang gliding, rock climbing, and hot-air ballooning, or with volunteering that helps people in need and the elderly to highlight an important life lesson.

You can learn more about Dan and find his book on his website: Happiness Comes in Threes, and reach Dan on Facebook.

From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya talk with Chaz Coggins, RN, Airbnb SuperHost and To Be Known game creator.  We talk about how life doesn't happen to us, it happens through us, how to appreciate the beauty we create in our lives, and the game he created during the pandemic to provide a means to find deep intimacy, friendship, and connection.

Chaz brings to this conversation the love, care, and curiosity to get to know people that we know he exhibits his patients. Aware that most people wear an emotional mask, he created a game that allows people to remove that mask, show and experience the beauty of finally being Known. We had the best time talking with Chaz!

If you want to be known or get to know your friends on a deeper level, check out his game: To Be Known, and follow the game on Instagram.
