5 Things That Are Keeping You From Growing

In the final episode of BTP (at least for now), I pull on my literature background and poetically close out the podcast by mirroring the very first episode 1 year and 45 episodes ago.

Whether personal or professional, relationships make up the bulk of our lives — they give us fulfillment, a sense of belonging, and opportunities. In this episode of BTP, I'm talking all about the small and intricate ways we can be more intentional about cultivating strong interpersonal relationships in our lives.

Despite what they try to tell you, you are, in fact, special. While in last week's episode, I talked about cliche's and belief systems that I don't believe are true, or completely true, in this episode of BTP, I debunk cliche's that I've been led to believe aren't true, but actually are. This includes that we are one of a kind, our best is good enough, and we get in life what we have the courage to ask for.

And then, at some point, we realize that no one actually follows those rules and that getting along in society is a lot more complicated than the cliches and beliefs we've all been told to follow. In this episode of BTP, I'm breaking down some of these sentiments and talking all about life lessons I've been learning lately about the real world.

Life is so much better when you're around *your* people— that is, the friends, family, and partners that you're actively choosing, that are actively choosing you too. In this episode of BTP, I talked about where to meet *your* people, how to connect with *your* people, and how to weed out people who aren't *your* people.
