    Making new friends when you're over 30 y/o - 76

    Today, I’m diving deep into a topic that's been a significant part of my journey over the past year: making new friends once you hit the big 3-0. Now, I’m sure a lot of you can relate when I say it felt like I woke up one day and suddenly my friendship landscape had changed. A year ago, I found myself feeling quite isolated, like I didn't have those close-knit friendships to lean on. But so much can change in a year, especially when you step out of your comfort zone and open yourself up to new experiences. From trying snowboarding for the first time and joining an exhilarating group trip to France, to discovering the power of shared struggles with my best friend, this past year has taught me invaluable lessons about the importance of forging real, deep connections in adulthood. In this episode, we’ll explore the social and emotional benefits of these friendships, the challenges that come with making new friends after 30, and I'll be sharing personal stories and practical tips that just might transform your social life. Whether it's joining a new hobby, signing up for a local meetup, or simply making the first move in starting a conversation, there are so many ways to enrich your life with meaningful friendships. So, if you're curious about how to build a support system, feel a sense of belonging, or simply want to hear some heartwarming and inspiring tales, this episode is for you. Stick around—you might just find the push you need to step out and make that first connection!

    Stating boundaries as a people pleaser - 75

    Today's episode is especially close to my heart because we're diving into a topic that has truly transformed my life: stating boundaries as a people pleaser. For years, I felt like I was losing myself by constantly putting others' needs before my own. It wasn’t easy, but learning to state my boundaries helped me redefine my self-worth, build my confidence, and get closer to the person I truly am. From requiring clients to pay upfront to calling out friends for not being there when I needed them most, setting boundaries has been a game-changer for me. But it’s not just about business transactions or social interactions—it's about balancing work and personal life, and knowing when to say "no." And let's face it, changing those deeply ingrained patterns can feel unnatural and even scary, especially when it involves the people we love. In this episode, I’ll be sharing some deeply personal stories, from cutting off friendships that no longer fit to deciding not to work evenings and weekends. I’ll also touch on how a recent incident of waiting excessively for someone reminded me of why I set these boundaries in the first place. You'll hear about the common challenges we face in setting boundaries—fear of rejection, lack of assertiveness, feelings of guilt—and the importance of self-awareness and prioritizing our own needs. Stating boundaries isn't just an act of self-respect; it's essential for maintaining mental, emotional, and physical health. Join me as I unpack the insights, struggles, and profound personal growth that come from setting boundaries, and discover how you too can create the freedom to live your most authentic life. So, if you're ready to reclaim your personal power and find a balance between helping others and honoring yourself, this episode is tailor-made for you. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it. Tune in, learn, and let’s fuel our freedom together!
