Episode Synopsis

JP always tells me to have thicker skin, but the truth is… that’s never going to happen. I have thin skin! I feel things deeply. I love that about myself, but sometimes it makes friendships a challenge to navigate. 

Today I’m opening up a bit about my insecurities in friendship, and how I’m working to discern the right level of boundaries with friends so that I look out for myself but also not shut people out prematurely. 

Today on WithIn: 



How I’m navigating unsolicited comments about me from friends




The challenging process of finding the right level of boundaries with friends 




The role self trust plays in learning to trust others




How putting yourself in new situations and environments can enhance your self confidence
