Leadership and Yoga How to Make Aligned Friends and Feel Uplifted by Your Relationships
Join me, Shawna Krueger, for an episode on FRIENDS. In this episode, we explore how the people around us influence our lives and how we can take control of those relationships. It's not about "winning friends," but about recognizing that you have the power to choose who you spend time with and how they impact you. We talk about assessing your current relationships, setting a vision for the kind of people you want in your life, and being open to those who challenge you to grow. The key is to let go of relationships that no longer serve you, set boundaries, and actively create the connections that uplift you. True friends are found when you’re walking towards your highest potential.
