Hey, Var!

Every woman has SOMETHING God has placed in her heart to do, but it's not always clear as to how to start it or keep it going. One of the dreams in our hearts is to help you figure out the paths you can take and give you what you need for the journey. If God called you TO it, then He will equip you to DO it. And when you need help, that's what Friends are for.

It's easy to cross our own boundary lines, but the question is: How can we learn to work our way back into those safe areas once again? 

On this Friendship Friday Podcast, Kiersten Banks will share how the practice of journaling can show us:

-  Where our boundaries have been crossed

-  Where our limits have been reached

-  How to Reevaluate and step back to see what we need to address

Do you have healthy boundaries OR could some of those boundaries actually be defenses? No shame here... we have all built them to keep us protected in some way. But the truth is, our defenses keep us from the connection and intimacy we crave while healthy boundaries move us toward them. This is an important distinction to make if we want our friendships and all of our relationships to thrive!

I (Stacey) need to come a little clean here... I always thought boundaries were my thing. But have you ever heard the saying, "Fences make good neighbors"? Well, my fences were getting a little banged up and whacked down, so when Tabatha suggested we talk about boundaries on the podcast this week, I kind of freaked out a little (lot), went to a couple of therapists, wrecked my car in a parking lot, and took a day off work to ponder what my boundary-less, aimless life had become. Aaand, this was pretty much all because I needed to set a time limit on something pertaining to Flaws. 

Look, you can't say we're not invested here. 

This week we take a look at what boundaries mean in close relationships, why and how to have them, and what God says about them. Hint: He sets boundary lines because He protects what He loves, and they fall in very pleasant places for us, friends! 

If you're experiencing any sort of burnout, it might just be because your fences are getting a little beat down, but this week we're going to repair and stand them up again so that blessing, not burnout, becomes the healthy marker of a life marked by God's overflowing protection over you and your friendships. 

Flaw: Burnout

Law: Blessing

Happy Friendship Friday. On this Episode, Tabatha takes us deeper into the topic of Gossip and explains What it is, What is does, and What we need to do about it.

"Listen girl, don't repeat this, but did I tell you what Karen told me the other day? I'm ONLY telling you this because we should pray for her."

The reasons we find to gossip are pretty funny... well, funny until we learn how God feels about it and what effect it has on us when we do it. The Bible says gossip kindles God's wrath—against us, not the other person!—and leads to barrenness. We don't know about you, but ten minutes of getting something off our chest about someone else sure isn't worth an empty, fruitless life.

Gossip causes pain, so why would we want to inflict pain on those we love... especially on our best friends?! There's nothing quite like a behind-her-back conversation that will ruin her trust in you and your friendship, so the next time you're tempted to do it, push play on this podcast and remember:

FLAW: Destroy Her Reputation

LAW: Protect Her Reputation

Build-up your bestie before others; don't tear her down! You'll be so glad you did!

On this special Friendship Friday Coaching Session, we'll give you a practical tool called The Wheel of Emotions that will help you not only NOT jump to conclusions about what someone else must be thinking or feeling, but also how to put language to your own thoughts and feelings. Basically, this will make you a champion communicator. Everyone will think you're amazing, and your friendships may just last one day longer! Join us every Friendship Friday for Story Time and Coaching On-the-Go!
