In Episode 2, Katy revisits the foundation of the Friendship Flow — a 5-step process designed to help women in their wisdom years build authentic, supportive, joyful friendships. After recapping Step One, Self-Awareness, we take a clearer and more grounded look at what it really means and why it matters so deeply in our friendships.

Katy explores:

• The difference between friendships and other relationships

• Why friendships should be free of strings and obligations

• How to identify where you get your energy — introvert, extrovert, or ambivert — and how this impacts your connections

• The role of mindfulness practices like journaling, meditation, and yoga in developing self-awareness

• How noticing our triggers can help us grow, respond with intention, and show up more authentically with others

We also reflect on the growing issue of loneliness, and how understanding our own needs can guide us toward more aligned, fulfilling connections.

The journey continues as we keep unraveling the rich, ongoing work of knowing ourselves — one meaningful step at a time.
