S1E16: The Glitter, Grit, and Growth of Friendship

Shelley and Jill have maintained their friendship for over 40 years. In Episode 16, they dig a little deeper into all the facets of friendship - the glitter, the grit, and the growth. You’ll hear stories about how their friendship has evolved over the years, how they’ve supported one another through life’s ups and downs, and how they’ve created safety and space for each other to grow and evolve. This podcast is for you if you believe that: • Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must. • Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit! • It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!” • There’s more than enough for everyone. • Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process. • People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in. The top three tips from this episode are: Recognize that some friendships serve you for a certain period of your life but aren’t meant for a lifetime. Decide which ones are. Nurture the friendships you want to keep. Like all relationships, friendships take work. Be there for the ups, downs, and in between. Hold space for your friends and enjoy the journey!
