REAL Friends

Let’s continue our conversation begun in Episode 07 about friendships and why that is something that's very important in every woman's life.  Previously, I shared a very personal and painful story about a breakup of a friendship, and how different that feels than the breakup of a romantic relationship.  I‘ve concluded that not all BFFs are meant to be forever. Today, I lean into my book “Who Am I Now? Feminine Wisdom, Unmasked and Uncensored” and explore “REAL-ationships”, not just relationships, but the real ones that contribute to who we are now, who we’d like to become, and how true BFFs help us transform into the next and best version of ourselves.Carefully chosen and nurtured friendships are essential to our evolution and we have plenty of evidence of the truth of the saying “You become the sum of the five people you spend the most time with.”About the Host: Isabel AlexanderYour Next Business Strategist and Transformation Catalyst Dynamic, a self-made entrepreneur who overcame obstacles with an unrelenting positive nature, a farm girl work ethic, and a conscious choice to thrive rather than survive, Isabel Alexander (Banerjee) cultivated an award-winning, $10+ million global chemical business and grew it from dining room table to international boardrooms.Isabel’s strengths include the ability to initiate and nurture strategic relationships, a love of lifelong learning and talents for helping others maximize their potential.
