Episode 105 - People Pleasing and Friendship with Jewel Hohman
Connection is a fundamental human need, yet many feel disempowered when it comes to making friends or deepening existing relationships. Today, I’m joined by connection coach Jewel Hohman to discuss the importance of strong friendships and how people-pleasing tendencies affect our ability to form meaningful bonds. Here’s what we cover:
How societal programming around friendship contributes to the loneliness epidemic
Why good girl tendencies like over-apologizing take away from the honesty that is essential to friendship
How cultural factors–think church or Disney–have perpetuated prioritizing romantic connection over friendship
The crucial role of consistency and vulnerability in creating and deepening friendships
How to determine when to end a friendship and do so with compassion
Why conflict resolution is key to stronger friendships
I can’t wait for you to listen!
As a connection enthusiast with a degree in psychology and sociology, over 4000 hours coaching on connection, and a pending master’s in social work, Jewel combines evidence-based self-help and the latest friendship research to help people build friendships that actually nourish them. In a post-pandemic world where millions are lonelier and more disconnected than ever, this conversation is urgent but mostly ignored, and Jewel is on a mission to change that!
