So just thinking about that for your entrepreneurial audience, just really understanding that your friendships are going to change. I think the number one thing that you can remember and accept in life is that your friendships are going to change. And that's okay. I think for me for so long, I felt so much shame that I didn't have the same four girlfriends that I grew up with.
And it wasn't Sex and the City. And it wasn't Girls. And it wasn't like every movie that I saw where everyone was best friends with the same people for their entire lives.
I had friends come in and out. I had changes. I had transitions. And that actually was a good thing. That was showing how I was changing, how I was evolving, how I was prioritizing different things like not drinking or partying or my business or spirituality. And so accepting that friendships will change is number one.
I think number two, seeing friendships as a vehicle for your growth just as deep as your romantic relationships is huge. My romantic relationships have been so powerful for me, but my friendships have been such a place for growth and support and love. And now I see my friendships as equal to my romantic relationships. They really see me. They hear me. They've been with me.
And women, especially in women relationships, the way that we can see and support one another is just next level. Yeah.
They can't cheat though. They'll hang out with the other girlfriend.
I'll never forget that. My mom, after getting divorced, she was like, you know, never lose your girlfriend. So She's like, your girlfriends are just so important. And, you know, I love men so much, but the texture and richness of my life has been so benefited by deep female friendships and relationships. And being an entrepreneur is not easy.
You meet up against limiting beliefs and mindset like setbacks all of the time. You have fear, you have overwhelm, you have stress, you're putting yourselves out there, you're doing cringe things. And so to have cheerleaders in your corner or have people that really see you and support you has kept me going.
And I think in the Saturn return period, for those friendships that are for that lifetime vibe, they require that love. date, you know, because you're kind of working on like old patterns, you're working on old everything. And so if you feel like you're changing, most likely your friend is changing too, but you both are holding on to how the friendship has always been.
So I think with the select few in my life, I've had to just have like a come to Jesus moment of like, hey, this is actually what's important to me right now, or this is what I have capacity for. Because sometimes, for example, in friendships, you don't see each other. I as much maybe because you've gotten married or maybe you've moved, maybe you don't touch base as often.
And we can make so much meaning out of that. And so if you have a conversation where it's like, listen, I would love for when we connect, it's just really quality and we're able to be really present.
I think that is super, super important because I don't know about you, but anytime I would change within a romantic relationship, my then boyfriend would be like, man, you've changed, you know, would have such a problem with change. And then with friendships, I always felt like, oh gosh, I can't change because then they're going to feel a type of way.
So I'm just giving people permission to change within their relationships and have actual conversations about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that rumbling happens for a lot of people where like you are at a job that you've been at for a while. Maybe most likely you're really good at what you do. You get rewarded for that. You are maybe on a path where you have an upward trajectory, but there's something within you that just says,
I think there's something more and I think I want to pursue something else or, you know, something else does light me up and I would love to see what would happen. And so I think, first of all, you have to get really clear about that. Is there an opportunity to pivot within the actual company that you're in? Because it's maybe just a feeling of what you're doing. Is it no longer aligned?
Is there another position at the company? Yeah. If it's a bit more than that and you actually want to pursue something else, which we both have done many times over, I think it's getting clear about how do I want to feel on a day-to-day basis? What really lights me up?
Asking those questions about the feeling part of it, logistics will come in, but I had to get clear that what was moving me in that direction came from like this place rather than the overanalyzing of everything, if that makes sense. Yeah. So when I pivoted, for example, from pursuing my acting career to the podcast, I had to make a conscious pivot. I could no longer do both.
It helped me become more of who I came here to be, to be honest. It gave me the tools, it gave me the friction, it gave me the feedback to allow me to be who I came here to be. And that was someone that's using her voice, someone that's standing in her power, someone that knows what she wants, someone that's clear on where she's going, and someone that has to meet every growth edge.
