In this special episode of the Sacred Wild podcast, I'm joined by my dear friend, soul sister, and accountability buddy Martha Lucius. We dive deep into our 10-year journey of supporting each other through life's ups and downs, both personally and professionally. Martha and I met through a business program in 2014, but our connection quickly transcended the typical "accountability buddy" relationship. We explore the importance of having soul friends who see you, believe in you, and provide wise counsel, especially when embarking on creative endeavors or purpose-driven work.
Key Takeaways:
* Having soul friends is crucial when pursuing purpose-driven work, as they provide support, encouragement, and honest feedback
* A true soul friend connection goes beyond surface-level accountability – it's about being seen, heard, and supported on a deep level
* Vulnerability and trust are key ingredients in a soul friend relationship
* Soul friends can wear many hats – cheerleader, strategist, mentor, confidant – and help you navigate both the big picture and minute details of life and business
* When seeking a soul friend or accountability buddy, look for someone who sees you the way you honestly need to be seen, not just the way you want to be seen
Soundbites:
* "You need your people – the people who can believe in you when you don't believe in yourself."
* "We want to be very real to the people that are around us. And if there's anything that came through, that's what attracted us – that soul track."
* "This is actively living in the world the best version of what you want to be and being vulnerable enough to be that."
