In this episode, we explore the final step of the Friendship Flow, Joy. We revisit the first four steps, Self-Awareness, where we learn who we are in friendship; Connection, the give-and-take that forms our relationships, Boundaries, the self-honoring limits that help us show up as our best selves, and Growth, the actions we take to strengthen and expand our circles. Joy isn't a destination but the natural result of doing this inner and outer work. It shows up in small moments laughter, understanding, being seen, and being loved as we are. We discuss how women intentionally create joy through vulnerability, community, and showing up for one another. Finally, we explore simple ways to nurture more joy in our friendships and reflect on how joy is already present in our lives. Friendship is a living practice, and as we stay curious, open, and authentic, joy grows right along with us.
