Friendship Coach | Andrea Smoak

It's 2022 and we're showing up more authentically and staying true to ourselves. We're focused on the people and places that we feel liked, loved, and never tolerated. Raise your hand if you understand. Life is too short not to be with the ones you love and the feeling is mutual.

Noted as the Friendship Expert, Andrea offers an open ear, lots of laughs, and a teardrop here or there, all in the name of life, love, and friendship.

Your Girlfriend Next Door, Friendship Coaching Philosophy

Utilizing self-knowledge to enhance empathy and understanding and to develop goals for self-improvement in friendships, relationships, partnerships and personal arenas of growth.

Cultivating the ability to truly see “you” the individual (client) in front of us, not a label, problem, or issue, and the willingness to learn from them and move forward.

Today I wanted to share my heart. With the state of the world we have to lend each other grace. It's important to be patient with your friends. Learn to read their energy. Learn to be ok with simply being ok. It's important to allow friendships to breath. As we all know breathing gives of life and balance. Much like most species or plant we must feed, give water, and allow light for them to flourish. This serves true in friendships and relationships too. We must give them what they need to allow them to grow. Again, be patient with you love ones, allow them to have what they need without you getting into your feelings.

Welcome to the "FRIENDSHIP COUCH." Hosted by Your Girlfriend Next Door & Friendship Coach, Andrea.

I'm here to have real conversations with my girlfriends, you! It all goes down on the couch... Tune in for our first installment coming September 1, 2021.

It was such a delight speaking with Isabelle Bridges of Awakened Motherhood Show. We had a awesome conversation about motherhood and friendship. Join in on this event June 21, 2020.

It's extremely important that we take time with ourselves. Taking an annual solocation is a treat we should all grant ourselves. We deserve a reset and the ability to take time to access where we are in life. You deserve to have a peaceful existence and remove yourself from any chaos. It's time to cleanse and focus on you. No, you're not being selfish. In fact this is the best thing you could do to represent your best self to the world

When did it all change? Well, let's talk about it. Once you're out of college, or in general, focusing on your career, family, and more, the separation begins. You're no longer headed out to the hottest social clubs, meeting sorority friends, or even sleeping in after a long night of partying. You're beginning to take life a little more seriously.

Hey Bestfriend, Sister, Girlfriend

We are taking on the challenge to getting past the hurt in a relationship and moving to the other side of happiness, clarity, and understanding. Join the conversation as we explore what to do when we've exhausted everything within us.

Check in on your friends because even the people who seem like they have their lives together, one-hundred percent, might be struggling. It’s almost guaranteed that your friend has something to share, release, or let go of. They may be covering up their pain with laughter and smiles, and you could be the one person with an ear they were waiting on.

Have you ever dealt with a friendship that has reached its breaking point. Rather a 20 year long term relationship or a good girlfriend of 5 years the pain of loosing a friend is hard. Let's look at a few steps we can take to ease the pain and move forward.

International Women’s Day,

This day was created to celebrate women's achievements.As a woman myself, I wanted to applaud women near and far who have poured into me, directly and indirectly. I wouldn't be the woman I am today if it weren't for others sharing their wisdom and experiences.

Throughout history, countless women have used their lives and influence to shape entire societies and the culture around them. Women have benefited the world and earned their place in the history books, still admired and respected to this day. International Women’s Day is celebrated all around the world as a tribute to the good women have achieved, to applaud how far our rights have come, and to highlight issues that still need to be addressed.

“Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.” ― Maya Angelou
