Episode 105 - People Pleasing and Friendship with Jewel Hohman

Send us a textConnection is a fundamental human need, yet many feel disempowered when it comes to making friends or deepening existing relationships. Today, I’m joined by connection coach Jewel Hohman to discuss the importance of strong friendships and how people-pleasing tendencies affect our ability to form meaningful bonds. Here’s what we cover:How societal programming around friendship contributes to the loneliness epidemicWhy good girl tendencies like over-apologizing take away from the honesty that is essential to friendshipHow cultural factors–think church or Disney–have perpetuated prioritizing romantic connection over friendshipThe crucial role of consistency and vulnerability in creating and deepening friendshipsHow to determine when to end a friendship and do so with compassionWhy conflict resolution is key to stronger friendshipsI can’t wait for you to listen!As a connection enthusiast with a degree in psychology and sociology, over 4000 hours coaching on connection, and a pending master’s in social work, Jewel combines evidence-based self-help and the latest friendship research to help people build friendships that actually nourish them. In a post-pandemic world where millions are lonelier and more disconnected than ever, this conversation is urgent but mostly ignored, and Jewel is on a mission to change that!Find Jewel here:www.connectionwithjewel.com Instagram.com/connectionwithjewelFacebook.com/lifecoachjewelhttps://www.connectionwithjewel.com/podcasthttps://www.connectionwithjewel.com/resources Find Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?
