Signs Your Strong Friend Needs Support

“I don’t  know who needs to hear this, but check on
your strong friends.” How many times have you seen this statement
floating around social media?


How many times did you actually check on your strong friend?


How many times did she say, “I’m good.”


… and how many times did you hear I’m good and kept it
moving? 


Listen, we’re not here to judge because the reality is your
strong friend is usually out here in these streets
straight capping. 


No, seriously. Even you check on her she spouts out some version
of “I’m fine” because she’s the strong one and that’s what she’s
supposed to say.  


In today’s episode we’re talking about hearing what she’s NOT
saying, aka looking for indicators that your strong friend might
need support even when she “looks so happy”.


Tap in sis, because we have thoughts.

Cultivate a daily practice of nurturing yourself with Nurture
Yourself Bingo
Nurturing yourself does not have to be difficult, but it does
need to be consistent, so why not make it fun. Nurture
Yourself Bingo is divided into five categories – one
category per card. Each category has twenty-four activities to
support you in a daily practice of nurturing yourself. All you
need to do to get started is print the cards, laminate them,
and start nurturing yourself.


Do one activity daily, marking a X in the squares as you go
until you get bingo. Once you get bingo, do something to
celebrate yourself. If you get bingo on more than one card at
the same time, up the celebration. Alternatively, you can work
on one card at a time and/or do more than one activity a day.
It’s your practice, do what feels right for you. Whatever you
decide, we’ve got FIVE CATEGORIES & 124
WAYS for you to do it.


Come be our guest on the
podcast.
