How do women show up in their friendships? Do you realize, as an individual, you are half of every relationship!
Breck and Sally are joined in this episode by Nila Conzen, a multi-passionate, curious Holistic Life Coach from Germany and creator of the @about.the.good.life. As she shares, she supports women in finding their own inner wisdom in large part because of her own history: she suffered an eating disorder, which has led her to studying psychology and yoga and ancient wisdom and nutrition. She's tried to including everything she's learned into her own holistic framework which lends itself beautifully to the conversation in this episode.
She suggests that showing up in a friendship starts with knowing oneself: knowing your own values and beliefs and what you might expect from others (needs, wants, and desires) makes it easier to find the individuals that connect to you.
We cover all things how friends showed up to her during her difficult time, what she's learned from friends, and how best to show up to your friends when they're going through tough times so you aren't a therapist to your friends and they're not a therapist to you!
The brute-iful truth she highlights is both brutal and beautiful: we are responsible for our own life, and our own boundaries, and we cannot change anyone else. But this doesn't mean we shouldn't allow ourselves to be seen. She celebrates: don't be afraid to show your weirdnesses and flaws and what makes you special and unique! Once you do that, others will find the space to feel welcome and share what makes them special.
She has a great tip to get started in being vulnerable with a friend. A simple question will get you deeper sooner – but you'll have to give the episode a listen to hear about the wonderful single question to get you started!
