In this episode, we dive into the concept of concentric circles of connection and explore what it really means to build, nurture, and thrive in your community as an adult. We talk through each layer, putting an emphasis on intimacy and levels of trust that are appropriate for each and why not everyone belongs in your innermost circle — even though sometimes we desire closeness in all of our relationships. Dolcie shares tools she’s been learning in therapy — how she's practicing remaining rooted in her values and needs to help ground herself, strengthen her relationships, and show up more authentically in all of her circles of community. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance depth and breadth in friendships, or how to show up as authentically as possible in your friendships, this is for you!
