We’ve all had those moments where we realize that life should be shared with that friend who is in sync with our life. She is your “sister”; beyond paternity, geography or stations in life. Females need friends and if you know this to be truth in your life then Building a Better Sisterhood Podcast,…
In this episode, our conversation is about control and who is in control of a woman. As women, we hand over control to others and sometimes controllers often assume their position in our lives. Sometimes control is imposed. Recently there have been some experiences in the national and international arenas that have caused me to really reflect on this topic from the perspective of a woman's control, and who has it over her life, body etc... Yes, you can quote my "Pearls of Wisdom" 1. "You have to maintain control because sometimes we have all been guilty of being angry at God when God was giving us an upgrade." – Cecelia GreeneBarr 2. "You are in control of your journey, which therefore means you have to exercise responsibility in your journey and exercise responsibility to vet the people who are with you in your journey." – Cecelia GreeneBarr "You are still responsible for your journey even if you have a mentor because you’re responsible for covering your journey with prayer." – Cecelia GreeneBarr "Your calling is divine and sometimes it takes people a minute to see it but you don't relinquish control to people who can't see what God is doing in your life." – Cecelia GreeneBarr "No matter what is done to you or around you, remind yourself, it is no one else's responsibility to manage how that impacts your mind and your emotions except for you." –Cecelia GreeneBarr "It is nice when others stand up for you but, find your voice." – Cecelia GreeneBarr "You have to understand that life is not going to stop swirling around you and you are going to have like a fruit salad of people in your life, coming and going and you have to maintain and take responsibility and be in control of how you feel." – Cecelia GreeneBarr Links Find Cecelia GreeneBarr www.buildingabettersisterhood.com www.CeceliaGreeneBarr.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/DrGreeneBarr Twitter: https://twitter.com/drgreenebarr Periscope https://www.periscope.tv/drgreenebarr/1kvKppmbmbQKE YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/GRNHSELLC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgreenebarr/
EPISODE OVERVIEW: In this episode, we explore how friendships change in terms of our really close sister friends and then those circles just outside of that and how it is important to make time for those relationships and to realize when it’s time to make that adjustment out of a friendship. PEARLS OF WISDOM: One of the must-haves for a true good friend is that they have to have the capacity to understand your heart. – CECELIA GREENEBARR Accept people where they are. - PIA McADAMS Sometimes, people are not at peace with areas in their own life. - CECELIA GREENBARR I don't believe that you can have true restoration without honesty. – CECELIA GREENEBARR We tend to go through our own stuff and we keep it internal. – PIA McADAMS In order to be a better friend, you need to listen more instead of hearing more. – PIA McADAMS Sometimes our friends are selfish. – CECELIA GREENEBARR Connect with me online Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrGreeneBarr/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drgreenebarr Periscope https://www.periscope.tv/drgreenebarr/1kvKppmbmbQKE YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/GRNHSELLC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgreenebarr/ Connect with Pia via these social media accounts: Facebook Fan Page: https://www.facebook.com/PiaRMcAdams/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/piamcadams Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/piamcadams/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/piamcadams/ Snapchat: piamcadams Google Plus: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+PiaMcAdams Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/piamcadams Periscope: piamcadams

On the podcast today, I talk to you about reconnecting with good friends. How many of us have sister friends that we've moved into the category of "former friend"? Maybe it's because time has passed, situations have come and go and they kind of dropped off our radar? If you have a sister-friend that you've disconnected with please enjoy this podcast. Yes, you may quote me - "PEARLS OF WISDOM" Not all disconnects happen because the friends had a disagreement. Disconnects can happen because other things get put in front of the friendship. If this friend is important to you then you are going to have to initiate the contact. If you are tired of being the first mover then you have some soul searching to do about the worth of the friendship. Friends are hard to come by. If you have a sister-friend, it's worth trying to develop and make that relationship better. CALL TO ACTION: It's time to reconnect. You need to put effort into understanding how the friendship disconnected. It’s not about sweeping things "under the rug" or ignoring the obvious. If the friendship was meaningful, make the emotional investment and reach out for the purposes of reconnecting. If it helps, invited your disconnected friend to listen to this podcast. It could be the vehicle to get the conversation flowing. Let's connect online. https://www.facebook.com/drceceliagreenebarr www.buildingabettersisterhood.com www.CeceliaGreeneBarr.com
Recently I attended a conference and in addition to learning the new material, I also decided to do an experiment in my own friendship skills. These are some of the lessons learned. PEARLS OF WISDOM: There has to be intention and action after the initial connection. We have to master the art of follow-up. Following-up communicates your sincerity. When you begin to do your follow up, try not to go the route of text messaging. Keep your best friend relationships as personal as possible. Don’t be so busy with the pursuit of life that you don’t have to follow-up with your BFF. As females we can be better towards one another but it takes some work, effort and intentionality. CALL TO ACTION: Follow-up today on some thing your BFF told you most recently. Follow up, call, drop by, FaceTime or Skype, make your presence and your interest and your concern known. It is just one more step towards being a better sister to your BFF.
Have you found yourself in a situation where different sets of friends don’t want to be in each other's presence because they don’t want to share you? Or, have you had a situation where you and one of your BFFs had a fractured relationship? The goal of this podcast is to give you the tools and strategies for your geniune friendships to be restored. I’ve had falling outs with my friends and every woman I know has had a falling out with a friend. These relationships can be reconciled but it does require some work so here is your call to action. Let the work begin with in you. First, roam around your memory, not looking for what your BFF did but look at what you did, how did you contribute to the fall out? Where were you in your own headspace, where were you emotionally? Where were you physically? Do a walk around in your own headspace. Start working on correcting that element of what you discovered and then when the timing and the opportunity is correct, reconciliation will happen. The moment of reconciliation, will call for you acknowledge; "I know what was happening with me that contributed to this, I apologize for my part." PEARLS OF WISDOM: Its okay to allow other people to love you that aren’t biologically connected to you. – ALICIA HUNTER So many people are so selfish with themselves, they hold back the best of themselves because they are trying to be protective somewhere along the way. – CECELIA GREENEBARR Love and time heals all wounds and sometimes you just have to step back and give it time. – ALICIA HUNTER Its what happens in the passing of time that determines if the passing of time was valuable or wasted. – CECELIA GREENEBARR As females, we have the capacity to be better towards one another. – CECELIA GREENEBARR It is more important to love one another and to respect one another. – ALICIA HUNTER True friendships can be reconciled. – CECELIA GREENEBARR Thank you for being with me another week on Building a Better Sisterhood podcast.

PEARLS OF WISDOM: When you truly love someone then you are willing to accept them. Being open and honest with one another becomes the real foundation for great friendship. In sisterhood, individuals are united by a common bond. Sister-friends have high levels of trust. We can be yourselves, have fun together, cry together and laugh together. When you fully accept yourself then you can empathize with those that are around you. You must really believe beyond the shadows of doubt that when your intentions are pure, the end result will eventually be what it needs for it to be. When you love someone, you are there through the good, the bad, the ugly. CALL TO ACTION: Ask yourself this important question, have you had a chance to share that thought or opinion with the person for whom you hold that opinion? When you are talking in a group and you happen to mention something about a female that you might be trying to develop a friendship with, if you haven’t shared with her what it is you are really feeling about her, then your call to action is to be courageous enough to set some time to have that conversation with her. Taking this call to action will close the door to the instances of “talking behind your friend’s back”.
In this podcast you will discover these PEARLS OF WISDOM: 1. It is essential to embrace sisters for who they are, where they are. 2. All of the gifts and talent that sisters bring together help to collaborate to build each other, encourage each other, to stretch each other and really to push each other to that next place. 3. There are some commitments that we must individually accept in order to move that relationship to the next level. 4. We have been created to declare God's praise. 5. It is important to have some modelling of either mentorship or partnership, identifying other women, our sister-girls who you can partner with and you can be mentors to each other. 6. We acknowledge people because God created all things. 7. In a true mentoring relationship, your mentor needs to know that they are fulfilling that role in your life.
