Re-Air: Ep. 113 - The Power of Friendship

I looked back on the two friends I've lost since I recorded this episode and the ones I've kept. In this episode, I thought about the people I surrounded myself with, what that meant, and the wonderful support I receive. It's interesting to look back and see the toxic people I spent time with and how much my life has changed since then.    Key Takeaways:    [0:00] Getting sucked into a cycle of mistreatment  [4:15] Fight, flight, fawn, and freeze  [7:02] Susan is someone who brings me so much joy [9:40] Roberta learns so much about me through my podcast  [12:30] Deb has been my friend since middle school  [16:32] The most important people I've been friends with since childhood [17:36] The importance of who I'm surrounding myself with [20:19] Am I facilitating healthy friendships?
