As season 15 continues, we're chatting today about a topic that has been close to my heart lately, and always, really — the power of friendship. We've already spoken about friendship this season, and we will again before the season concludes. I really resonated with Laura Tremaine's 2023 book The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs. I think we have a tendency sometimes to put so much emphasis on one friend, but Laura's book puts forth that we have many different types of friends that make up a life — and that each member of the Life Council is important, valuable, and necessary. Like I tell Laura in today's episode, I see the Life Council like a presidential cabinet, all of my friends sitting around a table helping me navigate my way through life. And each of us has our own Life Council. Today Laura and I chat about how we are lonelier than ever, despite being more connected than ever; her five friendship philosophies, including making friendship a to do; the 10 members of the Life Council, including the Daily Duty friend, the Battle Buddy, and the Empty Chair; how we handle friendships when we are in different stages in life; the reality of the pain of a friendship breakup and how to grieve that loss; her best tips to make new friends as an adult and what she thinks about friendship groups; what she wishes more people knew about friendships; and so much more. I would personally like Laura to be my new friend, so let me tell you a little about her — she worked in film and TV production for many years at MTV, VH1, Fox, and Paramount Pictures before becoming a full-time writer. She writes about friendship (obviously), anxiety, motherhood, and marriage, and her posts and her podcast, 10 Things to Tell You, resonate with women looking for ways to connect more deeply with others as they move through life's stages. She's also the author of the 2021 book Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First: 10 Questions to Take Your Friendships to the Next Level, so, despite her reticence to call herself a friendship expert, I certainly see her as one. Sit back, get comfortable, and get ready to chat about friendship with me and the fabulous Laura Tremaine. The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs by Laura Tremaine
Living in a city that never sleeps, like Las Vegas, taught me a valuable lesson about the nature of friendships. The hustle and bustle often blurred the lines between acquaintances and true friends. Inspired by insights from Travis Chapel and Marissa Franco, I share how vulnerability and genuine curiosity can help distinguish and deepen these connections. As we navigate the complexities of adult life, it becomes increasingly vital to reflect on our own roles in fostering these relationships and to pursue meaningful connections amidst our busy schedules. In this episode of the Weekly Drop, we explore the art of nurturing deep friendships through intentional actions and vulnerability. Drawing inspiration from Laura Tremaine's "Share Your Stuff, I'll Go First," I recount personal stories about the transformative power of reaching out during difficult times without expecting anything in return. We delve into the essence of consistent communication and its role in transforming acquaintances into true friends, as outlined in "Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World." Learn how embracing vulnerability and openness can lead to stronger bonds and turn conflicts into opportunities for growth.
To wrap up this focus on doing too much and how we run ourselves ragged, I'm looking at our relationships, from family to friends and in our work, with a focus on how we tend to be all things for all people and we do a disservice to ourselves and others. So I'm sharing a show I did with Laura Tremaine. Laura is host of the 10 Things To Tell You podcast and author of Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First. Laura worked in film and television production for many years at MTV, VH1, Fox, and Paramount Pictures before pursuing writing full time. She writes primarily to women about friendship, anxiety, motherhood, and marriage. But her book, The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs, got my attention a couple years ago and I refer to it often. She focused on the niche for women but I resonated completely as a guy. In it she profiles different friend styles and the benefit of having friends for specific needs. It hit a chord for me as I had become concerned with our growing cultural isolation and tendency to look at one friend or family member or our spouse to fulfill all our relational needs. And conversely, how others will look to us to fulfill all their relational needs. And we can't. And we shouldn't. And we not only end up doing too much, but fulfilling roles in the relationships in our lives that drain us and aren't even serving those we care about that well. I think you'll get great value from this talk with Laura Tremaine as you address you may be doing too much in your life.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring the powerful practice of sharing your resources and how it impacts our financial and spiritual lives. Growing up in a large family, I learned early on that sharing not only provided practical help but also deepened relationships and fostered our generosity. I’ll share three practical ways you can bless others with your stuff—whether by passing items to loved ones, selling and donating the proceeds, or contributing to charities. Join me as we reflect on wise stewardship and be encouraged by how these small acts of generosity multiply blessings in ways you might not expect. In this episode, John discusses: Practical ways to share your resources with others The impact of sharing personal resources and connection to spiritual growth Encouraging holistic stewardship beyond monetary giving Key Takeaways: Sharing your belongings with family and friends, whether it's tools, clothes, or household items, not only helps meet practical needs but also strengthens bonds, fosters trust, and deepens relationships through the act of sharing. Selling items you no longer need, such as through garage sales or online platforms, allows you to repurpose those items by using the proceeds to financially support charitable causes or ministries that align with your heart and passions. Donating goods to charitable organizations can help them provide essential items to individuals in need, while also enabling some organizations to create funds for career training and support services that uplift entire communities. Generosity, whether expressed through sharing material goods, volunteering your time, or giving financial gifts, has been consistently shown to promote increased peace, satisfaction, and well-being in both the giver and the recipient, reflecting a life of holistic stewardship. “So, however you choose to share, just share, and remember: whether it's a hand-me-down, a hand-me-across, or a hand-me-up, you are extending the hand of God's love every time you share.” CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

We talked with:Laura Tremaine is an author, podcaster and influencer. She launched the "10 Things To Tell You" podcast, a show born from her realization that sharing herself online and in person pulled her out of a long season of loneliness. From the "10 Things To Tell You" podcast came her first book "Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First: 10 Questions to Take Your Friendships to the Next Level." Her second book released in 2023 and is titled "The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs."Judith Engelman, M.D., is a board-certified psychiatrist who has practiced in Phoenix and Scottsdale for 40 years. Based on her vast experience in running therapy and support groups, Dr. Engelman was asked to collaborate in developing and facilitating the "Authentic Connections" groups in a research study with Mayo Scottsdale Department of Psychiatry and Arizona State University Department of Psychology. Blending her interests in individual, group and family therapy, psychopharmacology, yoga and spirituality, Dr. Engelman has always advocated for an integrative approach to healing.We talked about:In this episode, Dr. Millstine and her guests discuss:Friendship is an action. Friendship means showing up and supporting the ones you love. So if communication doesn't come naturally to you, you may want to add friendship tasks (checking in, phone calls, texts) to your to-do list. To some, that may seem like you're making friendship a chore, but it's an actionable way to make your friends a priority.Friendships have a spectrum of intimacy. Not every friendship has to be the soul-baring kind. Laura wants to highlight the value of relationships with co-workers, fellow soccer moms or online friends obsessed with the same TV show as you. One person can't fulfill every friendship need: Maybe you need one fun friend, a friend who brings you soup when you're sick and another friend with kids the same age.How do we make new friends? Though we often think of making new friends as an exhausting burden, Laura encourages us to see it for the exciting prospect it is: Finding someone who likes the most current version of you. And she encourages us to chill out a bit — aim for one good conversation with each outing.

This episode is for the therapy-curious and therapy champions. Ten years ago this summer, I was in one of the lowest points of my life. I had a toddler and a baby, was grieving the death of a loved one, the diagnosis of another loved one, and the near-fatal crisis of yet another loved one. My husband was away making a movie, so I was solo parenting and circumstantially very isolated during a rainy season that had flooded our home. And also....I had just started therapy for the first time. I needed the therapy. Making that phone call was one of the best decisions I've ever made. But as many people will tell you: it often gets (a lot) worse before it gets better. In this episode, I'm sharing 10 Things About Therapy that I've learned or noticed or want to share after 10 years of being on this journey. There are practical tips and also my personal stories. This is completely my own experience and not meant to be prescriptive or authoritative - just me, sharing my stuff. FULL SHOW NOTES HERE MENTIONED in this episode: My first book Share Your Stuff.

We all know relationships are ultimately what we desire most. This is where we get the most happiness and fulfillment. Yet we generally don't make friendships a priority, and as you're about to hear, there is a high chance you have been doing friendships…wrong. This episode is intended to give you a new perspective on how to look at friendships, and go about them, and get clear on what you are hoping to get from them. My guest is Laura Tremaine, host of the 10 Things To Tell You podcast and author of Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First. Laura worked in film and television production for many years at MTV, VH1, Fox, and Paramount Pictures before pursuing writing full time. She writes primarily to women about friendship, anxiety, motherhood, and marriage. But her new book, The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs, got my attention. I appreciate Laura's focus on women, but I recognized the need for this message on Friends is relevant to everyone. To me. My primary interest that you'll hear us dive into is how we tend to put way too much pressure on one or two friendships, like our spouse or a best friend, and a main point of Laura's book is how our relational needs are meant to be filled by multiple friendships. But another significant topic we cover is what friendship is really supposed to be about. It's not just for fun and support, but literal guidance and counsel, and few of us are allowing friendships to be this for us.

In my new book The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs, I write about how the "old friend" doesn't necessarily mean than you've known one another for decades. All that is required to hold that Life Council seat is to have a friend who has known you from one version of yourself into another. That actual timeline might vary. But Shauna Niequist is one of my oldest friends however you measure it. We met in the late 90's working at summer camp, where (as I wrote about in my first book Share Your Stuff), I learned from Shauna a different way to walk in the world than I had previously been exposed to. For twenty-five years, Shauna has been a friend, role model, mentor, and, yes, even a fellow obsessive as we discuss in this episode. Shauna Niequist is the New York Times bestselling author of Cold Tangerines, Bittersweet, Bread & Wine, Savor, Present Over Perfect, and I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet. She is married to Aaron, and they live in New York City with their two sons. To listen to the full reading tangent Shauna and I take in this conversation, you'll have to join my Secret Stuff community.

We are back for part two, diving deep and getting personal with two entirely new questions! We recently read the book Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First.: 10 Questions to Take Your Friendships to the Next Level by Laura Tremaine. Laura says, “In spite of the hyper-connected culture we live in today, women still feel shamed for oversharing and being publicly vulnerable. And no matter how many friends we seem to have, many of us are still desperately lonely.” We built HER Health Collective to cultivate genuine relationships between moms in an effort to drastically decrease the loneliness they may be feeling. Having relationships beyond the superficial requires digging deep into the nitty-gritty and having openness with others. We are setting the stage and being an example to our community of moms. So, here we go, we'll go first… Our discussion today includes our answers to the following questions: When did it change? What are you afraid of?

On episode 29 of the She is Kindred podcast, Britt and Dr. Bianca Goodrum travel into the heart of mental health and wellness. Together, they discuss the vital importance of counseling and therapy, and the commitment and hard work required to free us from grief and heal us from trauma. It begins with forgiveness and establishing boundaries, and ends with us realizing every small step has led us to real, lasting change.Bianca D. Goodrum, Ph.D., LPC-S is an Assistant Professor in the Counseling Department at Our Lady of the Lake University. Bianca and her father Kenneth E. Goodrum, LPC-S work together in their family counseling private practice Conceivable Resolutions, PLLC. She works with clients through a variety of concerns, including grief and bereavement, depression, trauma, anxiety, and familial concerns.Connect with Bianca on Instagram @goodrumbiancaIn this episode, Britt talks with Dr. Bianca Goodrum about: Holding space for grief, and learning to move forward through it.Historically and culturally, seeking mental health has not been encouraged or openly recommended. Now, we see a shift beginning that encourages us to consider mental health a pillar of wellness. Resources including therapists for BIPOC seeking support in healing from trauma. (Link to resources below)Forgiveness looks different from person to person, and forgiveness may mean establishing a boundary so that the relationship can still exist in a way that is healthy for you. Therapy requires commitment and hard work, and the goal is to take steps (small or big) so that you wake up each day feeling a little better and a little different.Resources mentioned in this episode: Psychology TodayLatinx TherapyMelanin and Mental HealthTherapy for Black GirlsQuotable“Grief is about integrating, how do I take this along with me? It doesn't go away, you don't get over it. You just learn to move forward in it.” -Dr. Bianca Goodrum“Instead of compartmentalizing your grief and trauma, putting in these boxes and shipping it out to sea and losing that piece of you, now we are beginning to see ourselves more holistically. When we do that, it opens the door for us to acknowledge and believe that our mental health affects every other part of our being.” -Britt Smith“If you are a learner of life, and as long as you are on this earth, there will always be healing and restoration that is going to happen. ” -Dr. Bianca Goodrum“Small steps are still steps.” -Britt Nikel SmithConnect with She is KindredJoin the Fall Book Club!

Summary + Guest BioIn today's episode, Britt talks with Gina Birkemeier about generational trauma and how that has manifested within her own story. While referencing her book, "Generations Deep," they discuss having the courage to recognize imperfections and acknowledge that, despite our best efforts, our past can sneak into our present, and affect others in ways we wish they wouldn't. Gina gives insight on how to heal and acknowledge hurt within ourselves while we work to move forward. It is an enlightening and hopeful discussion for all who are struggling to carry the weight of their past and the trauma and dysfunction of the generations that preceded them. Gina Birkemeier is a licensed professional counselor, award-winning author, and speaker. She is a doctoral candidate and holds a master's degree in psychology and theology, along with advanced training in trauma and evidence-based therapies to help people heal. Fueled by a passion derived from being a survivor of generational dysfunction and trauma, Gina has walked with the hurting to help them find hope and healing for nearly two decades. Her teaching and writing are rooted in a combination of faith–defined as a healthy relationship with God–and the sciences of psychology, biology, and epigenetics. In this episode, Britt talks with Gina about: What “generational trauma” actually means and how it manifests Misconceptions and misunderstandings about generational trauma and dysfunctionHealing our inner and past selvesHow to break the cycle and begin to forge new paths for self and future generationsThe cycle of continued healingQuotable:-“The idea is not to wipe away past versions of ourselves but to integrate them into who we are today.” - Gina Birkemeier-“It isn't so much about the ruptures as it is about the repairs - and what we do moving forward from the ruptures.” - Gina Birkemeier“That's where the cycle breaks, it's not that you're suddenly raising the next generation perfectly, it's that you're raising the next generation with integrity, not just for them but in and of yourself, and with a willingness to apologize and make things right when they go wrong.” - Britt Smith“And really, it does come down to taking the initiative to be brave enough and have enough courage to make changes and to recognize when we didn't make the change when we should have." - Britt Nikel Smith“If you are breathing – there is an opportunity for healing, for change, and for growth,” - Gina BirkemeierResources: Generations Deep - Gina's WebsiteConnect with Gina on InstagramJoin Gina's Facebook Group“Generations Deep” by Gina BerkemeierCurt Thompson's Podcast “Neurofaith”Curt Thompson's Podcast “Being Known”Curt Thompson's BooksThe Best of You Podcast by Dr. Alison CookDr. Alison Cook's WebsiteConnect with our community!Join the Fall Book Club!

Laura Tremaine is a writer and podcaster balancing between her Oklahoma roots and her Los Angeles, California wings. Along the way, she met her husband, Jeff Tremaine of Jackass and Ridiculousness, had two wonderful kids, became a podcaster three times over, and wrote her first book (Share Your Stuff, I'll Go First). Now, in early 2022, as she focuses on her next book, she is balancing her creative life along with family, mental health, cooking dinner and this little thing called a global pandemic. Between sips of Dr. Pepper we chatted about it all, including her refreshing 40-something awakening of not caring what others think. Listen to it all in episode 70 of Balancing Stories.

Can a beloved country star win over a reluctant holiday movie viewer? Time will tell… Laura Tremaine joins me this week to share her experience watching her very first Lifetime holiday movie, and it's both exactly what we expected and a whole lot of fun! Laura is the author of Share Your Stuff, I'll Go First, the creator of the #onedayHH Instagram campaign, and the host of the 10 Things to Tell You podcast. She's also a complete newcomer to the world of holiday movies. Though she's married to an actual movie director, Laura admitted to me last fall (when I was a guest on her podcast) that she's never watched a made-for-TV holiday movie. So this year, I asked if she'd be willing to give one a try—and she said yes! In the language of TikTok and good students everywhere, Laura understood this assignment. Of course, because this is The Couch, where rabbit trails and side notes are always welcome, we also talk for quite a while about the very unofficial difference between thrillers and mysteries, the difference between reading Little Women and watching the movie adaptations, and my possibly offensive take on Amish fiction. This episode really is a blast and I know you'll love it, so let's get started! REMEMBER: Hooked on Holiday Movies –This is your hub for all things holiday movies!

Laura Tremaine is the host of one of my favorite podcasts, "Ten Things to Tell You," where she discusses timely and relevant topics along with prompts to engage listeners! She describes it as an “interactive” podcast and encourages listeners to take topics to a journal or a friend - it's about digging deeper and sharing our stuff. Her new book, “Share Your Stuff, I'll Go First: 10 Questions to Take Your Friendships to the Next Level" – is an extension of her podcast in written form. She is very open & vulnerable in discussing deeply personal topics and encourages readers to use the book as a resource to facilitate deeper thoughts and conversations to grow and strengthen connections. The end of each chapter includes prompts that can be penned in a journal or discussed with a friend - it's truly a workbook getting to know yourself on a deeper, more personal level which can be hard, but it doesn't have to be! She'll go first...

Today we are chatting with author, blogger, and podcaster Laura Tremaine! In today's conversation we talk about her new book Share Your Stuff, I'll Go First. We talk about the cult of bookstagram and book people and we share books we've read with a cult-like following. We discuss whether or not they were worth the hype. Then, in true Laura Tremaine style, we end our conversation with a list: 10 culty things we've done. This conversation was SO much fun. Enjoy!
One of the most personal and meaningful projects I've ever made was my podcast series called The Secret Tapes. It's a series of interviews I did with the people I write about in my book Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First. The Secret Tapes were released in January solely to people who preordered SYSIGF. But now the Secret Tapes are a part of Secret Stuff, the private podcast I launched on Patreon. All eleven episodes of conversation and interviews are available as part of the Secret Stuff membership. This BONUS episode is a snippet of the Secret Tapes conversation I had with my parents. Let's just say that their recollections of everything I wrote about in SYSIGF are slightly different. If you enjoy this snippet and want to hear the whole thing (along with all ten of the other conversations), sign up for Secret Stuff now! The Secret Tapes are now part of SECRET STUFF. Don't miss out.
I am so excited to let you in on a little secret: my latest project, a private podcast called Secret Stuff.

Laura Tremaine has built a thriving Internet community around the idea that we all have valuable (and worthy) information to share, especially in our relationships. That's why I'm thrilled she's here with me today to talk about loneliness, reconnection, and why it's so important that we share our own stuff. In the early days of the Internet, she started sharing her life online through the popular blog Hollywood Housewife and eventually moved onto podcasting via the Sorta Awesome Show and Smartest Person in the Room. Now, she hosts 10 Things to Tell You, a weekly podcast that provides a jumping off point for journaling or to start a meaningful conversation with people who matter to you. And I love that she models what she wants her listeners to do by never being afraid to go first. In her debut book, Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First, Laura shares both personal stories and reflection questions to help us cultivate authentic connections with others that really only come from sharing parts of ourselves. Y'all, I'm so happy to have Laura on the show today to talk about the tools we need to not only start important conversations with our people but continue to be vulnerable and reconnect even when it feels hard. Tune in for the whole conversation to hear: All about our most notable and hilarious fashion moments The behind-the-scenes of mommy bloggers, brand deals and today's influencer culture How to safely and confidently share on social media without compromising your values What practical tools you need to invest in your relationships. Favorite quotes: 1. Sometimes there's real reasons why we can't share, because of our job, or our community, or lots of reasons it's legitimately hard to share online. But these women were mostly saying they can't share online or off, because of the shame they felt. 2. You can share and let yourself be seen without vomiting out every bad thing that's happened to you. 3. When I hear someone else's magical moment, it is so invigorating to me. I don't care if I 100% buy into it, it's still an amazing story. 4. When you go first, you're opening the door for other people to also share themselves. In this episode I answer this question: Is the Message Bible a safe bible to read? (42:47) Great things we discussed: 1. Laura Tremaine2. Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First 3. WandaVision 4. Dirt5. Charlotte's Magic Cream6. He's Always Been Faithful 7. Standing Strong Hope you loved this episode! Be sure to subscribe in iTunes and slap some stars on a review! :) xo, Alli
Laura Tremaine is an avid podcaster, writer, and reader, who has spent several years sharing all aspects of herself with her audience. Danielle wanted to sit down with Laura to discuss her new book, "Share Your Stuff, I'll Go First," because they both have similar feelings about putting it all out there in the name of others feeling less alone. This episode is truly "girl talk" at its best. The whole basis of the book is prompts for conversations with friends or other people in your life, and the two of them go deep discussing their childhoods, how they deal with other people judging them for revealing too much information, checking up on past boyfriends on Facebook, and so much more. Grab a cup of coffee and sit down with these two women and get ready to feel like you're talking with two good friends.Check out Laura's book Share Your Stuff, I'll Go FirstCheck out Laura On InstagramVisit Laura's website See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
