Journey to Me & Beyond
Who am I? Who are you?
This is a podcast where I share my journey coming back to me, and yet, going beyond what makes up who I am right now.
This is a place where I invite you to explore who you are, where we challenge ourselves to love ourselves where we are, and at the same time go beyond what we're capable of.
We explore topics like relationships, belonging, self-acceptance, courage, dreams, while at the same time, not being afraid to go deep into areas such as loneliness, rejection, pain, suffocation, grief, loss...
From time to time, I'll be inviting guest to come along to explore different topics.
Come along, as we go on this journey to be more us, and beyond.
Journey to Me & Beyond
Radiant Blossom Season 1 - Ep 05 The Power of Community
Just before my 23rd birthday, I asked my best friend Carren, who’s now my Angel ,
What does friendship mean to you?
What does a healthy friendship look like for you?
What’s the point of friendship? Really?
Having had a lot of failed friendships in the past, I truly thought that I was just terrible at this thing!
I had a tendency of leaving people before they left.
What’s the point of having them if they’re gonna hurt you & leave you, was a question always never too far away from my mind.
So you know what Carren said to me?
Phoebe, I don’t always know if a friendship will always work out or not. But I think the experience is worth it.
Even when it doesn’t work out in the end.
Because the moments of connection, the safe space, the vulnerability, the rib-cracking laughter, bad jokes & all … those will always be with you even after the person is no longer in your life.
And a healthy friendship really just means,
A safe space in the shape of a person.
Someone who sees you, loves you & is willing to lend you their strength till your wings grow back.
Someone who you call on the best days of your life & one who will sit with you on the other end of the call as you cry your eyes out till you go deaf from your own voice.
Someone who will be with you in the hallways of those in-between moments of life.
&
Whether a day or a decade,
No matter the length of time or depth of the season,
It will always be worth it.
Now at 26, with an Angel in the shape of my best friend Carren, I know like I know that I know … the power of friendship & community.
Yes, I can do life alone.
But no, I don’t want to.
& no, I don’t ever have to.
Of all types of wealth, what I’m most proud of & deeply grateful for, is my friendship wealth.
Which is why I’m fucking excited to be speaking on this very topic at our next Radiant Blossom #5.
The power of community .
I hope to see you there!!!!!
From my heart to yours,
I see you & I love you.
