Cultivating Healthy GIRLfriendships

Cultivating healthy girlfriendships is about creating a
culture of trust — a culture where honesty is appreciated and
reciprocated.


Today’s episode is an early celebration of Galentines
Day, so in honor of the same we thought it would be fun
to write a love letter of sorts to each other and we’re sharing
those letters with you. 


So go ahead and tap in, sis so you can hear us love on each other
like girlfriends should. It is our hope that after listening to
this episode you will have gained some insight on how you can
express your love for the girlfriends in your life. 


Here are a few things that came up in our
conversation:


 – Celebrating Galentine’s Day and what that can look
like
 – The importance of cultivating a culture that welcomes
vulnerability
 – Effectively holding space for the girlfriends in your
life
– Creating a culture of trust [among girlfriends] that is
non-judgmental and forgiving

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.
