If you’ve ever felt bogged down by the weight of the pressures society has put on you; the pressures of fitting in and showing up for others, then this episode is a must-listen.

We are joined by life and relationship coach Ludmila Woodruff to teach us how to show up as our authentic selves in all of our relationships (including the one with yourself!). Learn to see the value of having friendships with successful women, and how to view them as inspiration and not as threats. Abigail and Ludmila also chat about burnout, setting boundaries, and how to deal with toxic friends. Tune in and uncover the key to becoming a better you today. 

KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS:

• How we’ve been taught to compete and not collaborate. 
• Why you should question everything in your relationships. 
• Breaking society’s mold: The importance of staying true to yourself. 
• Get comfortable having hard conversations. 
• How to set boundaries in friendships. 
• What makes a great friend? 
• How to deal with judgment in your friendships and within yourself. 
• The revelations that come with Motherhood. 
• Navigating anger and hurt in relationships. 

QUOTABLES:

 “The most important relationship is the relationship we have with ourselves.”

“If you can accept a lot of who you are right now with all your mess and with all your successes, this is the space from which you can really grow.”

“We don't want to feel rejected. But we reject ourselves all the time because we're asleep. So we aren't allowed to show who we really are because we are afraid from the programming, we're afraid of what people will think.”

“You will always be a little too much for some people. Those people are not your people.”
