Female Friendships

04/08/22 • 24 min

The joys and complexities of female friendship is something that we learn over time. Are you ready to reflect on what female friendships have meant to you from when you were a child to a teen and now an adult? Connection is always a foundation piece in what brings two people together whether you're 8 or 30 but what that connection means for you will differ over time. Not to mention, your needs changing and growing together or a part (or in some cases giving each other the space to grow on our own).

Recycling Relationships

Have you had that person in your life that has come and gone over and over? It somehow makes sense for you in your journey but you still feel like something might be wrong with this pattern. This is the episode you've been waiting for. Inspired by an earlier GGH post of mine, I wanted to dedicate an episode to why we recycle relationships. If you haven't heard of the term before, I'll explain at the start but it is as it sounds. There's no shame in it and why we do it. In fact, from a trauma lens it's understandable why we keep old relationships close at times.

11 Years Without You - What I Know So Far

My dad was one of the greatest people I've had in my life and continues to leave his imprint on me. I was devastated losing him and had to do a lot of growing while figuring what life without him looked like. I stayed stuck and in denial for a long time refusing to move forward when it came to starting to take the steps to get professional and even asking others for help like car trouble when I ran exhausted from feeling defeated on my own. Healing hasn't been easy and continues to require me to adapt, ask for help and tap into some of the most vulnerable parts of me. I'm sharing what I know so far in my grief journey with a huge focus on realities, fears what's been helpful for me when coping, friendships strengthening and others falling a part and what grief looks like for me today, 11 years later.
