Standing in the Gap: Grief (Installment 1)

42m · My Brilliant Friends · 25 Feb 05:22

In this week's episode, passion takes the lead to give Cory some time for self-maintenance. She leads us through the first installment of the grief series. What is grief? What is depression? Are they the same thing? What is the impact, if any, to the person who isn't grieving? How do you show up for your friend? How do you navigate someone else's grief when you're trying to navigate your own? How do you navigate grief when it's your business partner? Get your pen and paper ready because class is in session!

The Finale?

Is this the end of the season? Is this the end of the podcast? Is it the end of the podcast as we know it? Friends, your guess is as good as mine. I know it's been two months since you've heard from me, and I can't say when you'll hear from me on this pod again. What I can say is that I've learned a lot with you, and I can only hope that you've learned a lot from the time that you've invested in me. Such humble and deep felt thanks to each and everyone of you who have listened. This train is headed into the train yard. But that doesn't mean the ride has to be over. A new train is pulling out of the station soon. Come along for the ride! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mybrilliantfriends/support

Friends of Friends

You like/love your friends. They may not like/love each other. Everyone being in the same space can have different implications. It can be great and the team expands. It can be awful and the night can be ruined. In this episode, passion talks about the pros and cons of bringing your friends together. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mybrilliantfriends/support

The Check In/When It All Falls Down

Three weeks. It took three weeks and all kinds of push through to get this episode up but here it is! And Cory was there!

Tune in and get the word from Cory himself. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mybrilliantfriends/support

Friends with...YOURSELF!!!!

How'd Beyoncé say it? "Me, myself and I: that's all I got in the end. That's what I found out. And it ain't no need to cry; I took a vow that from now on Ima be my own best friend." Are you a friend to yourself? Have you ever thought about it? Passion says she's been a great friend to everyone but herself. In today's episode she and her special guest, Dena Bilbrew, Life Coach and Career Coach, talk about why it's important to be your own friend, where that starts, and how to do it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mybrilliantfriends/support

K(NO)W New Friends

Which one are you? Why? In today's episode, passion sits and talks with the infamous Barry (IG: @barryantoine) that she and Cory speak of so frequently. They discuss their positions on making space for new friends or closing the circle and only allowing people to be as high up as "associate" in the friendship hierarchy if they haven't been around before the last ten years. Let's make Barry feel welcome, Friends!
