Cultivating and maintaining healthy friendships is essential for both our emotional and mental well-being. Having stable relationships helps us develop our social skills, expand our perspectives, and give us a support system and sense of belonging within the world. Friendships can bring joy, laughter, and positive experiences into our lives, making them an important aspect of our overall happiness and longevity in life.
In today's episode, the girls dive deep into friendships, their importance to our overall health, how to nurture and maintain them, and how to effectively resolve conflict. Episode 9 consists of answering big questions surrounding friendships and reflecting on how we've shown up in our personal friendships over the years and what we're doing differently now.
We know firsthand how lonely the world can feel sometimes, but it's important to remember that, in the end, we are all human, and it is in our nature to need connection and community. We deserve to experience love, joy, happiness and great friendships in this life, but we need to cultivate these experiences for ourselves.
