442 Am I a Good Friend?? Friendship Lessons: Growing, Letting Go, and Showing Up

Are you truly a good friend? Answer honestly. In this episode, Tyra dives into the complexities of friendship, how to evaluate your role, grow from evolving connections, and intentionally cultivate meaningful bonds. She shares personal stories about childhood friends, new friendships in adulthood, and the lessons she’s learned about showing up and keeping your side of the street clean. This week’s Affirmation is: “I am open to giving and receiving the kind of friendship that feels like home.” 3 Biggest Takeaways Friendships have levels and seasons—acquaintances, seasonal friends, core/inner circle, mirror friends, and distant friends—and understanding these helps you navigate your energy and expectations. Being a good friend starts with self-reflection: emotional availability, consistency, honesty, reciprocity, and accountability. The small, surface-level debates (splitting the check, RSVPs, birthdays) matter less than being intentional, communicative, and showing up authentically.
