Have We Been Taking Our Strong Friend For Granted?
You know that friend everyone calls when life gets messy? I know a lot of people who can relate. The one who always has advice, remembers everyone's birthday, checks in after the breakup, and somehow seems to have it all together?
Yeah… her.
In this episode we're talking about the strong friend and the emotional labor that comes with it.
We’re getting into the psychology behind it all and why some people become the “strong one” in their friendships, and how constantly being the person who holds everyone else together creates a parent-child dynamic.
But this isn't another episode telling you to “check on your strong friends.”
We're going deeper.
I'll share three specific ways to actually show up for your strong friend without waiting for her to fall apart or ask for help.
But If you're the strong friend listening to this episode - this one is especially for you!
Listen to the end and ask yourself: Have I been taking my strong friend for granted?
