Friendship is one of the most important, and often most confusing relationships in our lives.

Some friends stay for decades.
Some disappear after a season.
Some arrive like lightning bolts, changing the course of our lives before moving on.

In this episode we explore the idea that friendships are not random. Many of them arrive through soul contracts — agreements made at a deeper level of consciousness to support our growth, activate our purpose, or simply accompany us through a particular chapter.

We explore the idea that people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, and how recognising this can soften the pressure we often place on friendships.

We also talk about how my own friendship circles have shifted dramatically since practising yoga and stepping more deeply into self-awareness and spiritual work. When our values evolve, our communities often do too.

In the second half of the episode we explore the astrology of friendship.

Ultimately this episode is an invitation to see friendships with more compassion and spaciousness.
