  • The Loneliness of Being the Friend Who Holds Everyone Together

    The Loneliness of Being the Friend Who Holds Everyone Together
    2026/10/12
    The Loneliness of Being the Friend Who Holds Everyone TogetherOne of the strangest parts of getting older is realizing that some of your closest friendships existed only because you made sure they did.I’ve been thinking a lot about friendship lately, particularly how much it changes as you get older. There are so many conversations about romantic relationships, choosing the right partner, knowing when to leave, and understanding what you deserve, but I don’t think we spend nearly enough time talking about the heartbreak that can come from friendship.And in some ways, I think friendship heartbreak can be more confusing because nobody really teaches us what to do when a friendship starts falling apart.There’s usually no big argument. Nobody sits you down and tells you they don’t want to be friends anymore. Sometimes you realize you haven’t spoken to someone in six months, and the last five conversations were all initiated by you.You start thinking about all the birthdays you remembered, the dinners you organized, the random messages you sent because something reminded you of them. Not because you expected anything in return, but because that’s what friendship looked like to you.Then life gets busy, or you’re going through something yourself, and you don’t have the same energy to maintain every relationship.You stop calling as much. You forget to send the usual check-in message. You assume someone will eventually reach out and ask how you’re doing.And sometimes, nobody does.I think that’s one of those realizations that can really change how you see a relationship. You start wondering whether you were actually as close as you thought, or whether you had simply become very good at keeping the friendship going.I think our 30s expose things we could ignore in our 20sWhen I think about friendship in my 20s, so much of it was built around access. You had friends from university, people you worked with, roommates, friends of friends, and people you could randomly meet for drinks on a Thursday night.You didn’t necessarily need to be intentional about seeing each other because your lives naturally overlapped.But your 30s are different. People start getting married, having children, moving countries, building careers, and dealing with responsibilities that didn’t exist ten years earlier. Even finding a date for dinner can sometimes require three weeks of planning.I don’t think this means people suddenly become bad friends. I actually think most people are trying their best to manage their lives.But I do think this stage of adulthood forces you to look at your relationships differently.You start noticing who makes time for you when it isn’t convenient. You notice who remembers what you’ve been going through, who follows up on something you mentioned weeks ago, and who reaches out simply because they want to know how you are.You also start noticing the friendships where you seem to be doing most of the work.And maybe the harder realization is that you’ve been doing it for so long that the other person doesn’t even recognize there’s an imbalance.They’ve never really had to think about calling you because you’ve always called them. They’ve never had to plan anything because you’re the person who makes the reservations. They’ve never had to ask when they’ll see you next because you’ve already put something on the calendar.Someone can genuinely care about you and still get very comfortable with you carrying the relationship.I think that’s where things get complicated.There’s something about being the dependable friendI have a theory that women who are used to being the dependable person in their families, careers, and relationships often end up playing the exact same role in their friendships.They’re the people everyone comes to for advice. They know how to fix things, introduce people, organize an event, remember an important date, or make someone feel better after a terrible week.And the interesting thing is that most of them genuinely enjoy being that person.I don’t think every woman who’s constantly giving is secretly resentful. Sometimes you really do love taking care of people. You enjoy creating experiences. You like knowing that the people in your life feel supported.But I wonder how many of us have become so accustomed to being the person everyone depends on that we’ve never really considered what happens when we’re the ones who need support.What happens when you’re going through a difficult season and don’t have the emotional capacity to check on everyone else?Do your friends know how to show up for you?Do they even know when something is wrong?Or have you spent so many years being the person who has everything together that people assume you don’t need the same care you’ve been giving them?I think this is especially interesting because being needed can make you feel very connected to people. You know their problems, their fears, their ...

  • Your 30s will show you just how much love, safety, and regulation you never received.

    Your 30s will show you just how much love, safety, and regulation you never received.
    2026/09/21

    She’s back by popular demand. ❤️

    A new episode drops every week with wise words to sit with. This is a safe space to pause, reflect, and be honest about what comes up for you.

    For this week, reflect on these words:

    Here’s a hard truth:

    Your 30s will show you just how much love, safety, and regulation you never received.

    And how badly you need to give it to yourself now. But no one tells you how heavy that work actually is...

    You look around and realize you’re parenting yourself

    While managing a job, while trying to love people, while healing from things you didn’t even know were trauma.

    And still expected to “have it all together.”

    You’re learning to:

    Validate your own emotions, soothe your own nervous system, break patterns your family normalized

    And show up for others without abandoning yourself

    That’s not self-care. That’s reparenting.

    You start to realize:

    No one taught you emotional safety.No one modeled healthy boundaries.

    “You’re allowed to feel this, and I’ll hold space for it.”So now?You have to learn it on your own.

    And let’s be honest: it’s lonelyBecause you’re doing work your parents never did

    You’re becoming someone they never modeledThat’s why you’re exhausted

    The world will clap when you say you’re “healing.” But it won’t check on you when that healing looks like:

    Crying alone at 2 am, saying no and sitting in the guilt, choosing peace over people-pleasing

    Feeling lost without your old coping mechanismsBut here’s what I’ve learned:

    Healing isn’t always beautiful.It’s often brutal.

    Because you’re giving yourself the parenting you should’ve had but didn’t

    You’re learning how to hold the child and lead the adult. Both live in you now.

    So if you’re in your 30s and wondering why it all feels so heavy, it’s because you’re doing double the work.

    Healing old wounds.

    While building a life that feels safe for the first time. That’s sacred. But it’s not easy.

    You’re not broken. You’re not behind.You’re just doing what no one ever did for you:

    Making your inner world a safe place to land.

    Never see that as a weakness.

    That’s strength most people will never understand

    Now sit with that for a minute.

    What part of this hit you the hardest?

    Respond and let me know if you’re feeling this too. And if you want more of these weekly reflections, let me know.

  • How To Elevate Your Appearance On A Budget

    How To Elevate Your Appearance On A Budget
    2024/07/28

    Hey girls! Your girl Chika here, spilling the tea on how to look like a million bucks without spending it. Let's dive into some game-changing tips that'll have you serving classy looks on a budget.

    First up, let's talk wardrobe basics. Neutral colors are your best friend – they mix and match like a dream. And trust me, fit is everything. Don't sleep on thrift stores and consignment shops for designer steals!

    Now, accessories. A pair of pearl earrings or a delicate necklace can transform your look. And don't get me started on a quality belt or scarf – instant elevation! Oh, and a classy watch? Chef's kiss.

    Grooming is non-negotiable, babes. Consistency is key with skincare. I've got the scoop on affordable dupes that work just as well as the pricey stuff. For hair, think elegant simplicity – low buns and sleek ponytails are your go-to.

    Let's talk posture and body language. Stand tall, move with intention, and master that warm, confident eye contact. It's giving "I've got my life together" vibes.

    Your signature scent? Layer it for staying power. Apply to pulse points and thank me later. There are some budget-friendly options out there that smell expensive – I'll share my faves.

    Don't forget your shoes and bags! I've got DIY cleaning hacks that'll keep them looking fresh. Trust me, polished shoes can make or break an outfit.

    Bonus tip: Develop that classy mindset. Never stop learning, maybe pick up a classic novel or a new skill. And always, always be kind – it's the classiest move of all.

    Remember, start small and build. True class? It's all about what's on the inside.

    Stay tuned for my next video on embodying feminine energy. Drop a comment and let me know which tip you're trying first!
