Ideas With Intention

Navigating friendship as an adult can be tough. In this episode, I'm sharing a few tips on how to find mutual and meaningful ones. Good friends don't just land in your lap, you have to intentionally seek them out and make space for them in your life.

 

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS & TOPICS DISCUSSED:

• My personal journey with friendship
• What I believe makes two friends compatible
• Heartbreak that isn't romantic (and how to heal from it)
• Breaking down the notion that 'people come into your life for a reason, season, or a lifetime'
• What is an ambivalent friendship? (and how to recognize one)
• How to build mutual and meaningful friendships — my 6 friend x 6 month experiment (and how you can test it out for yourself)

We are rarely rewarded for our intentions. We are rewarded for our actions; our self-discipline in seeing something through. In this episode, I'm sharing my secrets of self-discipline, however, not for the purpose of achievement, but rather for the pursuit of becoming our best selves.
