What started as a handstand workshop turned into a friendship rooted in vulnerability, play, and showing up scared.Together, we talk about female friendship, community, identity, and what it really takes to feel alive again as a woman. We explore why adult friendships can feel awkward and hard to build, why so many women quietly play small, and how reclaiming the parts of yourself you’ve set aside can open the door to deeper connection — with others and with yourself.This episode is about finding your people and remembering who you are in the process.In this episode, we cover:▶︎ Why adult female friendship feels lonely and harder than we admit▶︎ The subtle ways women lose their spark over time▶︎ Why community doesn’t just “happen” — and how it’s actually built▶︎ How vulnerability creates real connection between women▶︎ The role movement and embodiment play in reconnecting to yourself▶︎ Motherhood, identity shifts, and belonging▶︎ Why being seen can feel scarier than being alone — and why it matters▶︎ How to stop playing small and start showing up as who you really areAubry Marie is a movement teacher, breathwork facilitator, artist, and mama based in Miami.
