Welcome to the Girl On Top, Shaolin Exo podcast. I'm your host, Shaolin Lester, and you

might know me from my YouTube channel, where I analyze select relationships and scandals

for lessons we can take into our own lives. But here on the podcast, I answer the best

questions you submitted over the past week.

Welcome back, Shaolin Gators. This week, you know, I hesitate to say this is another

extension of grad week, because honestly, this is an issue you're going to have to deal

with more than just in your early 20s or your mid 20s or your late 20s or early 30s.

It is being on completely different pages as your friends in terms of not just, oh, somebody

has a boyfriend and someone doesn't, someone might have a kid or a husband or several

husbands and several children. How do you maintain friendships when y'all are all over

the place? And more importantly, how do you not compare your life to their life, your

path to their path, and instead learn to give each other some space and preserve the friendship

rather than throwing everything out just because you're not exactly in the exact same

season at the exact same time. We're going to get into it and break it all down.

First, I want to remind you if you need a little one-on-one help with me, head to my website

shallonluster.com. Also, if you would consider donating to our fundraiser to help rainforest

baby animals, little rescued sloths and anteaters and dolphins and sea turtles, and a whole

bunch of other adorable little snouts out in Costa Rica, it would mean so much to me.

If my advice has ever helped you, I'd really appreciate you paying it forward, even with

$5 or $10 that can help feed a baby animal for a week. The charity is called Kid Saving

the Rainforest. It's a 501C verified vetted charity that's been around for three decades.

So go ahead and click the link down in the show notes to pitch in. Love you guys so much.
