S4 Ep8: Go BestFriend That’s My Bestfriend! (Feat. The Council Collective)

About this episode

This episode discusses the complexities of friendships and the importance of supporting loved ones while navigating personal emotions.

This week we’re talking all about friendships and what it really means to celebrate the people you love. From hyping your friends up in their winning seasons to navigating those “happy for you but low-key sad for me” moments. We’re keeping it real about the ups and downs of showing up for others. It’s a conversation about support, self-reflection, and remembering that there’s always space for you even while you cheer on someone else. Special Shoutout This week’s shoutout goes to the Therapists navigating the current state of the world while supporting clients who are also trying to make sense of it. The reality is that we are living in the same world we help our clients exist in, carrying the same weight of uncertainty, change, and emotion. It is important to acknowledge the humanity of the helpers and the resilience it takes to hold space for others while moving through it ourselves.
