Hey friends! ๐ This week we're wrapping up our favorite holiday chat - yep, you guessed it, Valentine's Day! Whether you're planning to celebrate it with a partner, family, or friends, we've got an enlightening episode for you.
We welcome back the amazing Coach Lee Hopkins, who delves deep into the essence of friendships and why they form the very foundation of our meaningful connections. Dive into a journey where friendship goes beyond the lovey-dovey and explores the importance of having true buddies who stick by you through thick and thin. ๐ซ
Friendships aren't just about the good times; they're about shared values, respect, and knowing where to draw the line. Coach Lee is here to share some golden nuggets on recognizing red flags, setting boundaries, and creating genuine connections without making it transactional.
Living in small towns like Nicholasville, KY, or navigating adulthood on the spectrum can feel isolating, but don't worry! Coach Lee offers insights into finding or building your community even when it seems like there isn't one. Whether you're into Dungeons & Dragons or quiet game nights, there's a tribe waiting for you. ๐๐ฎ
Plus, we've got tips for expanding your social circle at any age and how to protect your peace while doing so. Tune in, because friendships โ they're essential, fun, and absolutely worth nurturing!
