What up ladies, welcome back to part 2 of this Women of Impact Galentines Day girl gang

special with my group of badass ladies Audrey Hussie, Martha Higgareda, Rady Devluke Sherry and Daniel Canty. Because we are not freaking done talking about the realist or the rawerous most complicated relationships that we've ever had in our lives and that is, you get friends. Now in part 1, if we all had you nodding along thinking, yep, I've been there, Oh my god, that sounds familiar. Oh my god, they're talking about me.

Then buckle up because in this half we're just getting straight into the stuff that... if we all had you nodding along thinking, yep, I've been there, oh my God, that sounds familiar. Oh my God, they're talking about me.

Then buckle up because in this half, we're just getting straight into the stuff that actually breaks friendships. And that is how to spot a toxic friend before they actually drain you dry. We talk about why sitting boundaries is the key to long-term healthy relationships. And how do you actually deal with those boundaries when your friend doesn't acknowledge or accept them.

Oh, that's a tough one.

And then we talk about the biggest mistakes that we make,

that's a tough one. And then we talk about the biggest mistakes that we make that sabotage even our best friendships. And it's something that we don't realize we're doing. So guys, by the end of this episode, I want your friendships to be stronger. I want them to have unraveled some honesty that maybe you've been holding back on. I want this episode to help you take these tips and implement them in your own life. Because let's face it ladies, this is why I did Women of Impact. We can't do it alone. We need our girls. We need women around us that support us no matter what we're going through. Because girlfriend's friendships can make or break you. And this episode is about how to make those friendships make you. So without further ado, let's jump right back in with this special Valentine's Day episode of Women of Impact. I was reading actually something recently about the kind of in-between of asking questions. So even just our reaction, I guess, to that is like, yeah, well, like me as a mean girl, right? And so we're taking the stance of like,

why she's in the right. And there's a middle ground, which is like, get curious. So it's like, oh, hey, like me, I would love to understand like, you know, why you feel that way. I think also comes the book, like Radical Candor, which is like this place of like coming from like a loving place, but also like talking about your boundaries. So I think there's this workplace in between that you can get to quite often by asking loving questions. And you know, even myself listening to that, I was kind of like, yeah, me as the mean girl. But then if we actually pull back, ground ourselves, take a breath and go, okay, what is going on in Mia's life where she what actually is she seeking it might not even be that she's actually seeking somebody to look after her child. She just wants to be a sure that she has someone to turn to when she's struggling. I can't open this because I have. Yeah, I'm going to your mouth. Open your mouth. Open your mouth.

Open your mouth.

Open your mouth.

Open your mouth.

Open your mouth. Open your mouth. Open your mouth. Open your mouth. Open your mouth. Open your mouth. Open your mouth. Open your mouth. Open your mouth. Open your mouth. Open your mouth. Open your mouth. Open your mouth. and you try, you do everything you just said,

and you reach out and you're empathetic,

and you understand where it goes.

At some point, if someone keeps ignoring your boundaries, what do you do? Well, I feel I have obviously changed a lot over the years as all of us, I'm sure, have. But for a lot of my friends when I first came to L.A. or even some of my friends at home, I was always readily available because I hadn't figured out parts of my life.

And so if someone wanted to go for a workout

in the middle of the day, I would be like,

yeah, of course I'll come with you.

Or if someone wanted me to shop last minute

to just go house hunting with them,

I'd be like, yeah, of course, I'll be there.

So I was like that friend that anyone could call on
