I'm Kate.

And I'm Gemma, a space for no BS conversations for the women who want more.

And today we are coming in hot with the second installment of the friendship series.

And we can't wait to get into today's topic, talking all about how to be a better friend.

Last week, we spoke about outgrowing friendships.

This week, we really want to cover getting deep in what we can actually do to show up better and have more meaningful, deeper connections with the people in our lives.

So let's get into it.

Yeah, I love that and before we get into the rest of the episode, we want to pause for a second and ask our listeners, asking you guys to write down or make a little mental note of this question of whether or not you would want to be friends with you.

So at the moment, be honest with yourself because honesty is the way that you're going to make these personal development and growth improvements.

The way that you currently treat your friends, the way that you currently navigate life, like are you a selfish friend?

Are you a good listener?

Pros, cons, think about that and just kind of have that in mind.

If there is anything that you know you've got to work on and then we can get into that in the rest of the episode.

Yeah, and I think on that note, we're all busy, right?

And something that I've reflected on maybe the last few years, and I've definitely gotten better at this, but sometimes when we're in our own little world and we're like, I'm busy, and you're struggling to potentially keep up with the social commitments or whatever it might be, it's like,

The reality is everyone's busy.

I'm not more busy than my friends.

It's just a different kind of busy.

So it's kind of a shit excuse.

Like you can always do low effort things to make an effort.
