Finding your tribe is important. That group of women who you can turn to for help, to have a good time with or seek advice from. But we all know, making friends as adults doesn’t come easy.

In Ep. 17 of Season 2, we’re joined by Fariha Rub, aka The Doctor Mommy, to talk about self-worth, cultivating friendships and finding purpose through pain.

Self esteem isn’t something they teach you in school, neither is it something instilled in us from birth. But building up our self-esteem allows us to recognize our self-worth. No matter what age you are or where in life you find yourself, holding on to your self-worth can help pull you out of situations you know aren’t right for you. Fariha explains how she came to learn the importance of self-love, self-compassion and why you must always invest in yourself.

We no longer find ourselves on the playground where life seemed easier and everyone wanted to be your friend because you got the jumbo crayon pack everyone wanted to play with. As adults, we find ourselves in new cities, with a new family, spouse, career, and limited free-time on our hands. So how do we find and maintain good friendships?

Fariha opens up about her past friendships- the ones that were toxic but had left her with valuable life lessons. She explains how she uses those experiences to build herself up and hold herself to a higher standard when it comes to choosing friends. She offers tips on how she found her current set of friends and how to tell if you’re in a toxic relationship.

Through all of the pain she had suffered in failed friendships, Fariha decided to create a safe space for women to join and support each other both spiritually and emotionally. This group helps encourage growth and gets like minded people under the same roof.

Whether you’re just getting out of a toxic friendship or moved to a new city and are looking to find your clique, Fariha proves friendship is crucial but only if it’s made with the right people for you.
