Finding Friends as Adults & Building Intentional Friendships with Moni Giles

The importance of friendship. Goodness, there are so many reasons we need other women in our lives and so many reasons that strong bonds create just a mental health boost. My life this season has been the roughest in parenting. Who knew that toddlers go through the terrible twos? I’ve been in a huge struggle with getting her to bed, getting her to wash her hands, talking to her, getting her to daycare, going potty, and really struggling with every part of daily life that doesn’t involve playing or having her in my arms. I would be a total mess if it weren’t for my friendships this season. I haven’t felt like myself lately with the stress of it all, so I didn’t do any podcasts for the past couple of weeks. I don’t want to overwhelm you with it, and I also wanted to make sure I can come here and give you the best of me. Today, I’m still not on the other side of this struggle, but I feel more hopeful after journaling.Most recently, I met Moni online. Through an Instagram message. The one message I sent her about how I admired what she’s doing in the eastside to bring women together ended up turning into a coffee date and working on a project together.There is nothing better than meeting other women in our community that are doing amazing things like lifting others through events, networking, and helping other women change their life.
