Summary

Today’s episode is all about relationships, and specifically the power of those in-person friendships that mean so much. We’ll be sharing some of the things that we’ve been going through ourselves lately, but one thing we strongly believe in at HERself is that you need to have good friends in your life that you can absolutely count on.

Real relationships take time to nurture and the process can’t be rushed, but we want you to be open to the idea of making new friends. During this season of life, there are times that you will need those people close to that you can lean on!

We’ve been thinking about how we can help our listeners grow their roots, and that’s why we want to invite you to join the HERself Podcast Patreon Community, where we take these conversations deeper in our private Facebook Group. Recently, we talked about mom guilt and where it shows up, and in this community we talk about the shame and secrecy that comes with mom guilt, as well as the wins that we don’t normally celebrate with each other. You can join at one of three different tiers to support us as creators, and be part of an exclusive community of over 100 women who are also navigating this crazy thing we call life, at https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcast.

0:00.0	In our marriages, in our communities, in our friendships, if we're able to support
0:04.7	each other like that, that's how nature was intended. And I think just as human
0:09.1	beings being able to do things ourselves and you know, show up with that super
0:12.6	hero cape on. It's like sometimes we've got to lean on each other too.
0:15.1	I'm Amy. And I'm Abby. And as women, we are constantly comparing ourselves to
0:24.3	others. But your life isn't supposed to look like hers. Being your best self
0:29.7	means standing firm in your decisions and always being willing to grow with
0:33.5	a purpose. We get vulnerable and real with an honest look into the challenges
0:38.4	and triumphs we all face. Every woman listening gets the opportunity to choose
0:43.2	what life looks like for herself.
0:49.7	Today we are going to do an episode all about adult relationships based on
0:56.0	some of the things that we've been going through ourselves lately. So one
1:00.4	thing we believe as a podcast is that you need to have good friends in your
1:05.7	life that you can absolutely count on. It's interesting because a lot of the
1:11.9	times people think that Abby and I have been friends for far longer than we
1:16.6	actually have. As most of you know, yes, we met in college, but we didn't talk
1:22.1	more than a few times. And that was a long time ago. We started talking again
1:28.1	later in life when we were both getting married, when we were having our first
1:32.6	kid. I will say the good thing about both of us and the thing that really
1:37.0	paid off is that we were open to opening our circle. And so I think if more
1:44.5	people would stay open to making new friendships and you're not replacing
1:51.3	anything, you're not loyal to your old friends, but I think of it as more of an
