I had a phone call with a friend a couple weeks ago that was QUITE tricky to navigate. It was tricky because this friend feels as though they walk on eggshells around this certain family member all the time, and the family member seemingly drains all their energy (energy vampire). That friend knows that that relational dynamic isn't right, and wanted to know how to fix it! If you have found yourself here before...OR are experiencing this right now, then you'll want to listen in to this episode!

In this new "HELP!" Series, we are going to take a look at nuanced friendship issues that seem to not get much airtime in our day-to-day conversations, though they are prevalent enough that it deserves a discussion! Today's topic is "What to do when you feel like you have a friendship that is growing apart." (Could also be said as a "friendship that is falling apart / drifting away etc.)" I've found myself here many times before. and want to share honestly what I've learned through it, and what decisions I needed to make in those moments, so that we can all in turn, build relational wealth together!

Name one thing we don't need more of...another conversation about being more confident. Yes, we seem to know everyone has struggled with self-esteem at some point or another, but it clearly isn't as simple as just "believing in yourself". (Cue eye roll). Enough talking about it...let's find some ways to take action and change it FAST! In reality, I have focused on trying to build my own confidence this past year, and found 3 little tricks that work for me, that legitimately take no more than 5 minutes a day TOTAL. I'm hoping you may find one of these will help you regain/build/boost/unlock your own confidence too! AND, better yet, helping you find your God-confidence!
