Hey friends, welcome back to Real Talk with Rachel Autry.

I think that you have pushed play at the perfect time because we are in the middle of Friendship, February, which is a series running all the episodes in February

all about you guessed it, friendship. If this is your first one you've joined us for, I'm so glad

you're here. This is going to be so life-giving and impactful for you in your life and the

friendships around you, whether you have a lot or one or none. And today's conversation specifically

with Shea Hill is literally so great. I don't know

how it's to describe her other than what I say. She's a friendship fairy. She is so good at loving her

friends well, which then in return gives her great friends because she is a great friend.

And I think that's a principle that we all need to learn

a little bit more of just with naturally the world of social media and having this false

sense of connectivity that we don't actually have in a real life. So how do we love our friends well

by knowing our friends well and making and deepening great friendships? Well, I'm so glad you're

here because today's conversation is all about that

with my good friend, Shay. Shay, welcome. I should say welcome back. Like, welcome back to Real Talk. Well, actually, you know what? Pause back up. You have yet to be on Real Talk. Technically, I have yet to be on Real Talk. Yes. And this was like, years ago that you came on Behind the Bliss. You were episode six.

I'm trying to think of my mind. You definitely episode six. How do you remember that?

I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe because it was like one of the first we were like so stoked.

We still are so stoked. But you know what I mean? Like when things are fresh and things are new, you're like, and you were episode six. So we talked a lot about kind of, I feel like,

maybe what we talk about today, your story, how you really truly steward relationships and

friendships and just do that life well with other people. And I am like, this episode,

if you have pushed play, I just want to say with people listening

you about to be blessed it is going to be so excited I'm so sweet I'm blessed just to be here and

sort of be in your presence um thanks for having me it's truly a joy of course oh my gosh you're
