144 "Everything Is Fine!" A Message to the "Strong Friend"

I saw this post on Instagram that said “call your strong friend so she can lie to you about how everything is fine” and it made me laugh, hard.  I’ve been so guilty of this.  And I know I’m not alone!  The world is opening back up and people are trying to go back to normal, but this strong friend mentality isn’t something that I want to come back into play in your life.  Or maybe being the strong friend is the only way you know how to be.  Or maybe you are a friend to a strong friend and you’re not sure what to do.  In today’s episode we are going to talk about the harm you take on when you portray being the strong one, how vulnerability can help you in the long run, and how to support someone who is always doing just fine.  And I hope to inspire you to soften up.
