We made it! We set a goal to record and publish ten episodes and here we are with the tenth and final episode of Season 1. *Clap for us, please, as we clap for ourselves.* We are so grateful for all of you - our dahlings, our people, ayo! Now to today's episode: are you the 'strong friend" or is there a "strong friend" who is your go-to person?

On this #MeenoMonday, we are retiring the label "strong friend". Friendship is a two-way street and it is truly out-of-touch to think that some friends are always doing well. Whether you're surrounded by a throng of friends or you keep your circle small, you want to feel cared for. The persons labeled as strong are often in as much need - if not more need - of someone to genuinely be there for them.

What makes a person appear strong? How do "strong friends" show up for the people they care about? How should friends show up for each other?

We are advocating asking questions over making assumptions, paying attention to telling shifts in behaviour, and providing space for your friends to show up as they are.

We'd love to hear your take over on Instagram! Join us there on Wednesday as we dive deeper into the topic because 'we wan' know' your thoughts!

Last week, we concluded our two-part Faith Series with a discussion of spiritual goals and practical ways we can express our faith. If you missed it, go back and give it a listen.

Q: So wa you doin' on Monday?

A: Meeno!
