Podcasts about strong friend

Are you helping… or are you enabling? It's not always easy to tell the difference, especially in our closest relationships. In this episode of The Friendship Tour, we're closing out the 3-part Strong Friend series with a conversation that gets right to the heart of support, accountability, boundaries, and the weight of “superwoman” expectations. My guest, Latasha Kennedy (founder of Girlfriends Thriving), joins me to discuss the tension strong friends face when their care crosses into enabling—and how we can recognize the signs in ourselves and in others. Together, we talk about: ✨ The difference between helping and enabling (and why intent isn't the same as impact) ✨ The roles accountability and boundaries play in helping without enabling ✨ Why strong women must learn to let others in, embracing humanity instead of superhero status ✨ How to support the strong friends in your life with practical questions, real listening, and intentional presence If you've ever been the “go-to” friend who feels the weight of everyone else's needs—or if you love someone who carries that weight—you won't want to miss this conversation.

The Strong Friend Unmasked Are you the “strong friend” in your circle? The one who always shows up, holds everything together, and carries the weight of everyone else's struggles? While being dependable and supportive is a gift, it can also come with a hidden cost—frustration, resentment, loneliness, stress, and even physical symptoms like panic attacks and high blood pressure. In this episode of The Friendship Tour, I continue The Strong Friend Series with Part 2: The Strong Friend Unmasked. Here, we discuss: ✨ What makes it difficult for the “strong friend” to show vulnerabilities ✨ The unspoken baggage we often carry ✨ How burnout shows up when you're always the “go-to” person ✨ Why we are not superheroes—and why that truth matters for our health and friendships ✨ Latasha's powerful personal story of letting go of the “superhero cape” and finding true freedom If you've ever felt like the reliable one - the “strong wife,” “strong sister,” or the “strong friend,” this conversation will remind you that strength doesn't mean carrying everything alone.

Welcome back to TriggeredAF! In this powerful Season 12 opener, hosts Alechia and Dani get real about something we all say but rarely do: checking in on your strong friend. This episode isn't just talk — it's a raw, unfiltered example of what it actually looks and sounds like to hold space for someone who seems like they've got it all together. Alechia and Dani open up about what's been heavy on their hearts, the weight of being "the strong one," and how easy it is to miss the signs that someone you love might be breaking inside. You'll learn:

Have you ever been the one who's always strong for everyone else? The one who listens, supports, prays, and shows up—but struggles to let others do the same for you?In this powerful episode of Mask/Off - A Charitea Movement Podcast, host Keiara B. Gladney gets real about what it means to be the “strong friend” and how to begin your journey of healing, vulnerability, and receiving.✨ “Tales From A Recovering Strong Friend” explores:Why being “strong” all the time is not sustainableThe importance of letting others show up for youGod's desire for us to experience mutual support and authentic communityTake off the mask of silent struggle and step into the freedom of connection, healing, and true friendship.

If You're a FAN leave me a message :-)Hey Tribe, let's get real.This week's episode hits where it hurts… but also where it heals.We live in a world that rewards the illusion of strength, keeping it together, pushing through, showing up “fine.” But underneath the perfect Instagram filter, the leadership mask, and the day-to-day grind… many of us are barely holding it together.In this episode of 15 Minute Monday, I'm breaking down:Why we've all been taught to pretend we're stronger than we really feelHow that quiet performance is costing us our mental health, connection, and sense of selfAnd most importantly - how to stop performing and start living with truth, strength, and emotional integrityThis one's personal. It's raw. It's for the strong friends. The leaders. The fixers. The “I'm fine” crowd.Let's break the illusion.Let's step into real power - not the kind that hides emotions, but the kind that owns them.

I used to love being the “strong friend.” For awhile, it was a large part of my identity, and I'd brag about dropping anything to help a friend in need.In retrospect, it's easy to see how being the “strong friend” came naturally to me. I had a complex, traumatic childhood, and as the eldest daughter, I became a caregiver at a very young age and dealt with a lot of unpredictable circumstances. At school, I put myself in leadership positions where at the end of the day, the buck stopped with me, from becoming class president to varsity coxswain on the rowing team. But over time, it became clear this title – the “strong friend” – came at a cost.That's what today's episode is about: the costs of being the “strong friend,” and how I eventually was able to remove myself from this role (which had its own costs). If you've ever played this role, I hope this episode gives you permission to make small shifts to lighten your load. I promise, those changes do add up over time. In this episode you'll hear about:How being the “strong friend” actually denied other people in my life the chance to show up for me and for each otherThe unsustainable patterns this dynamic created, going from one grand gesture to the next, and how this impacted school, work, and my partnership with MichaelChoosing gestures that are actually not disruptive – for us, it's company – vs. disruptive, like taking time off work to stay with somebodyHow I shifted some of these patterns, including learning to build bridges instead of boundariesResources & LinksListen to Episode 85 about shifting people-pleasing patterns and to Episode 112 about breaking the ways we show up into phases.Like what you hear?

What is the Strong Friend ??? To most the strong friend has so much going for them. There is no way they could ever struggle. People on the outside look at them and are surprised to hear about their stresses. The strong friend usually puts up a facade that everything is ok, even though their worlds could be crumbling, but no one would know. They go on like this for months or even years We should prioritize what's happening for them and their feelings. Even if they don't offer that information, ask for it. Remind the strong friend that they are only human. Instagram: @GhiaLogicX ghialogic.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ghialogic/support

Tonight's episode is for the strong friend. The one who's there at a moments notice, thru thick and thin and down for whatever. But who checks on you strong friend? Is your personal suffering ignored for the betterment of others? Is this the result of friends with too many problems or self inflicted? We'll be live tonight on FB and IG..(YouTube this weekend hopefully!) to have a conversation simply titled “The Strong Friend”. Tune in, ask a question or say hi! 

"“Check on your strong friends” sounds profound, but it's technically meaningless… It is performative. A task, not a solution." - Rodney Rodney recounts a conversation with a friend who revealed she had contemplated suicide. He unpacks the feelings that the conversation evoked, which inspired a deep dive into the complexities of friendship. He explored why we choose bad friends, what being a friend means, and the different types of friends one can have. For just the second time ever, Rodney shakes the table on suicide. He offers a nuanced take on how friends can support each other in those dark moments. He uses the opportunity to address the strong friend trope. (HINT: 'strong friend' doesn't mean what you think it means). An episode about the beauty and rarity of true friendship. Featuring Louis CK, Jane Fonda, and 2Chainz

You don't want to miss this hilarious yet, very inspiring episode featuring life coach Jayme Shiarla! She brings bright and positive energy; I hope this episode inspires you as much as it has me! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dr. Thema describes warning signs that your strong friend may be struggling and provides pointers for being a better friend to your strong friend.
