The Gal's Guide

We all know that one friend who always tries to one up you or likes to make everything a competition. A little bit of friendly competition can be healthy for any relationship. However, there are some individuals who engage in longstanding rivalries with people they call their friends. These competitions are often one-sided, secretive and fueled by both jealous and insecurity. We're getting into it and how you can handle it!

Most people have at least one flaky friend. You know them well. You can never count on them for any plans, usually unless it's their idea. Sometimes they only hit you up if it benefits them, never the other way around. It’s easy enough for other people to say “they're not a real friend,” but…what if you honestly love and admire this person? What if you are dating them? We're diving into why people tend to be flaky, how to handle this type of friend or partner, and do you even have to deal with it?

When we think of resilience and strength, Nicole Christie definitely comes to mind. She is bringing her rawness, candidness, and utter badassery to The Gal's Guide today to share her story of self-care and self-discovery after a yearlong battle with ocular cancer, moving to a new city, recovering from narcissistic abuse, and leaving her marriage.

Together, we are discussing how to tune into what your body is telling you and use it as a compass for change; how she was able to recognize, survive, and thrive after narcissistic abuse; as well as, how the best self-care is the kind that comes from inside: self-awareness, self-compassion, self-respect, and self-integrity.
