When Leslie confesses she approached Angie for career coaching because "I'm not good at too many things”, the statement stops Angie in her tracks, considering Leslie is an accomplished anesthesiologist who returned to medical school at 36 as a single parent.

This moment of disconnect between achievement and self-perception becomes the catalyst for exploring why we struggle to recognize our own worth.

Their honest exchange demonstrates how trusted relationships can help us challenge our limiting beliefs and see ourselves more clearly.

Ready to examine your own self-imposed limitations? Join us for this eye-opening conversation that might just change how you view your own journey. And if you're looking for more guidance on living joyfully, check out Angela's book "We're Too Old For This"—because at a certain point, we've lived more days than we have left, and we're simply too old to delay joy.

The Besties talk about joy A LOT! And want to make sure that people are getting its true meaning, and what it’s not, to stay clear of all the toxic positivity out there.

Toxic positivity occurs when people don't allow themselves or others to experience hard emotions, quickly trying to move them to a "positive" place.

Joy requires going through difficulty and sometimes involves setting boundaries or doing hard things for long-term fulfillment, and boy is it worth it!

What makes friendships last? The Besties have not only been blessed with their long-standing relationship, but have many others that are intact since elementary school.

They change, yes, but there are some key components that make them last. This week’s episode explores the boundaries, curations, and grace that are behind their friendship successes.

Some topics covered:

• Zero tolerance for gossip and strict confidentiality are core values in their friendship culture

• Learning when to offer validation versus objective perspective takes time in any relationship

• The "urgency of now" reminds us to prioritize meaningful connections in our later years

• A practical friendship filter: would you allow your children to spend time with this person?
