How to Have Happier Friendships with Laura Tremaine, Jennie Allen, and Andi Andrew

Friendship is not always easy. This is true for all phases of life, but especially as adults!  How do we, as grown-ups, do friendship well? Where is this “village” of friends we’ve all heard so much about? What does it look like when friendships are healthy?  If you’ve ever asked questions like these or struggled with friendship (and haven’t we all?!), today’s episode is for you! I have pulled together some of my favorite conversations on friendship to bring you the best of friendship today.  Whether you are starting over in a new place or you’ve had the same handful of friends for years, these insights will benefit friendships in all different stages! Lean in close as we talk about :  Why it really is okay (and even good) for friendships to have different levels of depth with Laura Tremaine Building your village with Jennie Allen The difference between self-preservation and good boundaries with Andi Andrew Favorite quotes: “We have so many ideas of what women's friendships should be. You need to have people that are bringing different things to the table. It is not all heart to hearts and margaritas.” “When we expect to disappoint people and we expect them to disappoint us there is a lot more grace in the world to mess up and work it out.” “Everything about friendship is awkward. There is no getting around it. In that awkwardness has been the richest part of life.” “Boundaries are about valuing ourselves and others, so when we practice healthy boundaries we are empowered to build healthy relationships that are grounded in love.”  Coaching this week:  How you present yourself to the world and why it matters.
