Living Wholehearted Podcast With Jeff and Terra27 Feb 2024

Episode 218: Friendship Part 1 - Healthy Vs. Unhealthy, Myths and More with Connie Armerding

Every healthy leader has good friends. Our personal friendships help us sustain our integrity over the long-haul of life. So it's worth spending two full episodes to unpack the healthy and unhealthy elements of friendship. Terra Mattson, co-host of the podcast and co-founder of Living Wholehearted, has a candid conversation with one of the Living Wholehearted Executive Coaches, Connie Armerding, about friendship - what it is and what it is not. Connie and Terra were friends before working together at Living Wholehearted. They offer some genuine insights into the myths that run interference, particularly with female leaders, and how we can move toward building healthy friendships. Connie and Terra both coach women in leadership, do organizational development retreats, and love leading the Wholehearted Leadership Cohorts. Learn more at livingwholehearted.com

She is also the founder and executive director of the non-profit Courageous Girls. She is co-author of Shrinking the Integrity Gap: Between What Leaders Preach and Live, and Courageous: Being Daughters Rooted in Grace, where she talks extensively about friendship.
