Everyone always talks about how difficult it is to make new friends or move on from dying friendships in adulthood. But have we actually had the conversation? Today we're discussing the potential reasons for why this process is so difficult and so often painful. I'm sharing stories of my own recent trials in this department, and how we may all be able to move through it with grace. Let's talk about it!

It occurred to me that there are several topics we've covered on the show so far that didn't quite get their full time to shine - so I figured we should come back to them at some point. Today's the day! Check out the show notes for specific time stamps on each of the three topics. We're covering more nuances of boundary setting, how the Barbie movie shows us the workings of polarity theory, and why it's so important for women in particular to get the f*ck outside.

My baby brother is on the pod! 🥺 I've been wanting to interview Casey since the show began because, although he is the younger sib, I've always looked up to him for his ability to genuinely communicate and practice presence with the many relationships in his life, especially after a childhood where this was not emphasized. Today, we're discussing how he does it and how he navigates obstacles along the way. I'm so excited for you all to dive into this one.

This one is for all my fellow pushovers. I've noticed a pattern in my life of having major difficulties being able to stand up for myself as a woman, and I think it's time to address it. Today, we're talking about what got me to this realization and some ideas on where to go from here - most importantly, how to rise up and continue to do the work.

If you are involved in a spiritual or wellness-based community, you've seen misinformation from self-proclaimed "lightworkers" or spiritual "coaches." In today's episode, we'll chat about how to distance ourselves from harmful pop spirituality and, instead, cultivate a personal authentic practice.
