Let's talk about when and how to confidently set boundaries and/or completely prune certain friendships from our lives...because when we set boundaries we actually free ourselves up to put energy into what matters the most.
We get uncomfortable when people ask us "why" about what we think or believe. It's a vulnerable question because it's the personal component of our beliefs. You can believe the exact same thing as someone else but the "why" behind it, or maybe better put, the "how did you arrive at that belief?" is deeply personal. In this episode, I share a bit about confidently answering that question for yourself so you can share with others.

This episode is all about how to gracefully flow with your friendships as you transition in and out of, what I call, "micro life stages." How do we confidently maintain old friendships while also making space for new ones?
Everyone experiences negative thoughts and emotions. It's inevitable. But they don't have to control us. In this episode, I share how I've learned to confidently push past my own negative emotions so they don't sink in and cause bigger issues...
Before I deep dive into all the confidence topics I want to talk about, here's a little get-to-know-me preview where I share a bit about me and how I got here...
