Friendship IRL: Real Talk About Friendship, Community, and What It Actually Takes

How to Embody Main Character Energy in Friendship


Listen Later

Have you ever met someone truly magnetic? 

They walk into the room, and suddenly, the energy shifts. People are drawn to them. Some might argue that this is just the way some people were born. They inherited some gene that the rest of us didn’t.

But I believe magnetic individuals are just people who are doing the thing, putting themselves out there and taking action consistently – which over time, creates momentum and that coveted main character energy. 

You are the main character in your own life, and when you’re stuck riding somebody else’s waves, it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs and interests! So that’s what today’s episode is about: creating momentum and embodying that main character energy in your own life.


In this episode you’ll hear about:

  • What main character energy is: taking action, speaking up for yourself, prioritizing community connection
  • What main character energy is not: centering yourself in every relationship; blaming other people as the problem; never taking responsibility
  • Peeling back the layers of your authentic self and letting yourself be seen, especially the things about you that make you colorful and interesting
  • Giving yourself the glow-up without the life-changing event and making yourself the center of your connection universe
  • Three tips and two challenges to help you get your own main character energy
