RGF 242: Are You An Emotional Surrogate?

“How To Break Up With Your Friends" author Erin Falconer joins the Heal Squad to share the starting link between your friendships and your productivity. The existence and handling of 'legacy friendships.' The need to examine invites: is your attendance at that kid bday party, baby or bridal shower 'meaningful'? How 50% of those with fewer social connections experience this. How you are the co-creator of your friendship problems. How cutting toxic friends off is only step one and how this second step is even more important. How friends not showing up may be more on you and the best means to communicate with friends.    We hope you enjoy!   RESOURCES: Link to Erin’s new book “How To Break Up With Your Friends: Finding Meaning, Connection and Boundaries in Modern Friendships” : https://www.amazon.com/How-Break-Your-Friends-Friendships-ebook/dp/B096NH11Z3 Erin’s Instagram: @erinfalconer Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-together-with-maria-menounos/id1320060107

How most people are too rooted in beliefs to ever see the truth. How the truth won't exonerate you when dealing with narcissists - or their followers. Why sometimes followers of narcissists deserve your empathy. When and who to share the truth with. How swearing less, impacts more. How @theMinimalists, @DailyStoics and @StevenBartlett share the same secret to overcome traumas.. When your bosses yell at you over the phone, mute yourself, stick your tongue out and twerk to Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke's performance. When you want to be inspired to not care what others think, watch the performance again! Talking RGF Forgiveness Tour '22, update on our 'How to Build Your Throne in a Sea of Kweenz' upcoming RGF book deal, Junkie Outward Bound, Fun Boy Island and knowing that when you're backed against the wall, Comedy Must Rule.

You are consciously trying to improve yourself and your life. As a result, you get pushback from people you're close to. On today’s episode, we talk about how those around you react to your growth. How many only learn to adjust, rather than change and how that can be okay. How you may be too available. How you must go where you're celebrated not tolerated. How some around you are jealous of the work you're doing and unwilling to do it themselves. How great spirits always get opposition from mediocre minds. How your happiness is always directly related to your peer group. How proximity can maintain some friendships. How this may be the episode to replay and share!
