Ep. 14 Life, Love, & Shattering the Male/Female Friendship Myths with Drew Manning

In this episode of Heidi's Lane, I open up about my incredible journey and friendship with Drew Manning. Known for his remarkable fitness transformations and coaching, Drew's real charm lies in his vibrant soul and radiant energy. 

Our conversation veers into the uniqueness of our friendship, defying common perceptions about relationships between men and women. We delve into how we've maintained a deep, platonic bond over the years, challenging the societal assumption that such friendships must have romantic or sexual undertones. 

Throughout the episode, we share our insights on personal growth, the nuances of understanding oneself in relationships, and navigating the complexities of friendship and love in our forties. We discuss the importance of recognizing core values, setting boundaries, and finding a balance between being independent and allowing vulnerability in relationships.
