In this episode of Big Sis Advice, Elle discusses how to make friends when you’re “intimidating.” She argues that often, when women are labeled as intimidating, it's more about the insecurities of the people making the judgment than about the women themselves. Elle shares her personal experiences of being called intimidating, and explains how she navigated these situations. She emphasizes that the friends who are right for you won't find you intimidating, but rather, they will feel a sense of relief upon meeting you. Elle also highlights the societal pressures and policing that women face when they embrace their confidence and 'bigness'. She concludes the episode by encouraging listeners to embrace their own 'bigness', and to make friends with others who do the same, reminding them: "You don’t need to be friends with everyone, keep living in your light, in your kindness, IN YOUR BIGNESS."
