"Tell me what you want, what you really, really want."// 5 Most Common Contradictory Friendship Goals

If you had one week where you couldn't experience guilt, how would that change your friendships? Would you end relationships? Would you set boundaries? Would you ask for help? Would you pull away from your family to spend more time with friends without feeling bad about it?

These questions were sparked by the book I'm reading, "The Guilt Pill" by Saumya Dave. In it, the main character, Maya, takes a new pill that numbs the part of her brain that feels guilt and... well, it's quite a ride.

So I read four studies about women's guilt and in this episode I'll unpack what I discovered. Then we'll look at ways that our perpetual "interpersonal guilt" shapes the decisions we make in our friendships... and the surprising dangers and benefits that come of it.

Here are the 4 studies we review in the episode:

For the first time, I step away from "coach mode" to chat with two of my personal friends-- Katy and Yamel-- to talk about "new friend red flags". We received several responses to our Instagram story asking about the things other women do within your first few interactions that turn you off, and this week we're discussing them as a group. We'll also share our "green flags"-- things women do within the "new friend" stage that make us swoon. For a complete friendship transformation, consider joining our 8-week coaching program, "Friendship Elevated", at Betterfemalefriendships.com/membership. There are video modules, homework challenges, and personal coaching sessions to help you MASTER adult friendship in 60 days.
