  • Join me Megan Ashley and special guest Trinity Mitchell, author of "The Mean Girl Manual, as we take a deep dive into the raw and relatable journey of that inspired the creation of the book. Throughout the episode, Trinity opens up about her transformation from struggling with weight loss to embracing a life of health and fitness, all while nurturing the growth of her impending motherhood. Her candid narration of the emotional ebbs and flows that accompany the loss of a best- friend, the intricacies of relationships, and the delicate dance of forgiveness and healing, promises to resonate deeply with anyone who's ever grappled with the nuances of human connections.
    With warmth and wisdom, Trinity walks us through the unseen battles of personal breakups and their ripple effects on our children, pushing us to consider the implications of our actions and the legacy we leave behind. Her insights into the balance of maintaining boundaries without sacrificing our integrity, and the role of a God-centered identity over a role-centric one, aim to guide listeners towards a more fulfilling and centered life. This conversation isn't just about shared struggles, but also about the empowerment that comes from accountability and personal growth within our relationships.

      Same girl! And the crazy thing about is when you feel like it was a God ordained friendship or relationship and something sooo small and minor causes it to end.
      With no closure or reconciliation. It can really make people cautious about friendships. Which isn’t such a bad thing, but also if we’re not careful with that cautiousness it could easily turn into a wall that’s built to not let anyone in or give people a real chance, because your scared to be hurt again and lose someone over a simple mistake. We are all human and we all will forever make new mistakes, so knowing that makes it hard to even try in a relationship or friendship. Praying that God will heal all the broken and confused hearts and that God will send a true friend to all that’s searching 🙏🏽 in Jesus name I pray amen

    Has anyone experienced a change within themselves in a healthy way and realised that none of your friends kinda match you anymore ?
    I have alwayssss been the Joan of the group ( girlfriends sitcom), the ultimate people pleaser, let people speak over me, not be acknowledged but acknowledges everyone else, getting birthday presents for friends and literally getting nothing in return ... The list goes on.
    But since i turned 30, had therapy, ended a bad relationship I have blossomed so much as a person and alot of my friendships don't align with me anymore. I genuinely know im a good friend and know my worth in God and in general that i won't put up with mistreatment anymore. Very lonely road realising youve outgrown nearly all your friends but God is our provider and he has given us everything we need for each step in our life.

      I used to be like this. Quick to throw people away because they didn't "align with me" anymore, but all this did was leave me lonely and filled with grief. I realized I was treating people like pairs of shoes. Loved them until they just didn't fit my style anymore, then I'd search for a new pair. For me, this wasn't a healthy way to be. I realized I was seeking perfection in my relationships, something I couldn't even give. Just like my life, other people are going to have highs and lows. All relationships have highs and lows, but it's about being willing to communicate, work through things and love each other through it all. I'm learning to truly see people, whether family, friends or more, as human, not a player piece in a game called life. There are times when a relationship (platonic or not) is genuinely not healthy and better to leave than stay. I realized that wasn't the case with everyone and many of the people that I thought didn't align with me anymore, were truly just at a point where we needed to relearn the new persons we each were becoming. To learn how our friendship can grow and adjust together, as we internally and externally grow and adjust as individuals. Jesus doesn't treat us like throwaways. So let's not treat each other that way. ❤

      Me being a person that tends to flight vs fight also probably played a part. I was quick to leave whatever I felt would've been to tough to muscle through. So I deemed them unworkable and flew. I became a flight risk lol. Stemming from childhood trauma where I was not allowed to flight or fight. Just numbed myself through it. So as an adult I became a flyer and sought perfection in everything. I'm unlearning these things now. God has graciously blessed me to see these things now and is healing me from it. Now my situation, or anything similar to, may not apply to you. Who am I to know you better than you. But I pray that for those that this may apply for, that Jesus shows you the truth and the way. God bless.

I think in my situation though I've had to take a step back and really evaluate who is a good friend to me and act accordingly cause I haven't had great experiences and put up with alot if I'm honest. I've also had time to look into myself and see the error of my ways too. We are all learning and growing, I genuinely pray God guides me on this journey of friendship and you aswell 🤍

    I had someone that I considered to be my friend. I thought we were as close as sisters. But, I was quite needy because of my upbringing. I realized I was asking too much of her, and it made her hate me. I really believe that. She talked behind my back with her other friends and it let me see that she didnt value me as I valued her. I let her go even though its very hard for me to let go of the very few people I let in. I am so happy that I did. I was angry with her at first but after the anger has subsided into acceptance. APTTMH 😊 whats for you is for you.. and that means people, places and things.

    Mean girls absolutely exist in adulthood! I NEVER thought I would experience bullying from my peers in my adulthood but I did and it broke me. It triggered something inside of me that I simply could not stand. Even still, God used my disappointment and misery to show that I was idolizing friendships. He allowed me to lose people I thought were my friends, my actual best friend, etc. in order to seek Him.

    I can totally resonate with when you said you felt you were leaving your friend behind when the year passed. When I lost my mom in 2021 when 2022 was coming in I felt like I didn’t want 2021 to leave so I could hold on to my mother. Every year I feel like I’m moving further away from my mom. And I definitely lost a huge part of myself when she passed.

    I’m pre- liking. Because I’ve already listened to this episode 4 times ( no cap ) I love both of these ladies and they have both impacted my life in the area of friendships ! I often forget about UA-cam. Because when I listen to the podcast I listen on Apple Podcasts due to not having signal when I’m at work. But I love Meg. The way I resonate with her is scary. I’m glad she decided to step into this space if speaking and podcasting. and didn’t stop after KFS ended. And glad she has leaned into intimacy with the Lord sincerely because I often feel that The Lord knew I also needed her YES Too !!!

    I had a friend group at church, consisting of a pastors kid and 2 children of church staff. About 7 people total. We were all really close, prayed, fasted together, and even prophesied to one and other. Until drama started entering into the church and started screwing with relationships, lies were told, drama was started, and a massive breakup within the group happened too. Everybody took sides, and others lied to make each other look bad. Not something people would really expect from the “core Christian kids of the church” but the enemy really got involved into our friend group. I still pray that we can all come back together in Christ one day… this episode really changed my perspective on things, please pray that God would revive us all.❤️✝️🫶🏾

    WOW. I love how you said that because we all often times place so many expectations on those around us when we truly need to be seeking the Lord. That's why we continue to feel unfulfilled and low because we aren't looking in the right place and in turn, darkening our perception of the people around us. The enemy will try and cause division but it's our responsibility to keep our eyes on the Lord and turn our heart posture towards Him so that we are able to maintain and pour into those relationships around us!

    Not really sure what/why happened in your friendship that was lost with B. Simone. But i see you reaching to refill the space you held for her (not the space she left behind) I watch her as well and she seems to find comfort in busy/avoidance and maybe that's because acknowledgement of being seen and made to stand in the hard part of friendship is scarier than she thinks she can handle. Sometimes a "hollow" life is welcomed. Who was fault is irrelevant, please continue fill your spirit with the joy, the growth, the beauty, the blessings, the lessons and the patience you are given. I wish that for both of you (together or apart)

    I can SO relate to your mother holding you accountable. LOL I definitely use to feel a way about her always seeming to never be on my side of the situation but as I matured I realized she wanted me to reflect on my part in the whole thing… I appreciate her for it now. 😂

    Good morning Megan! I am so proud of you and your authentic Pisces journey. I absolutely resonate. I loved this real, multi-layered conversation. Thirteen years ago I went through the worst relationship of my life because he was such a morally decrepit human and MOST of my "friends" and family abandoned me. But I became the Alpha female of my life, following ONLY God, because that's all I had to rely on. And for Pisces, we almost need to remind ourselves of that so that if we are being called to let go of a friendship or connection or take time away from family for our own God/self focus, we can. But I learned so much. And your podcast is like a spiritual current of fresh air. Keep going.. peace and love 😌😌🙏🏽🙏🏽🩷🌼🌼🍄🍄

You are cultivating connections that will elevate you further and bring you closer to God. Trinity, thank you for this message. It is so needed, and your approach is so digestible as it just kind. I think we forget how powerful kindness can be. God bless!!

    You describe how I am with the only child comment. I'm the same way in my thinking. Can't be fake, neither. I feel dimissed & took the same actions as you. Love this conversation. I can relate to so much & taking notes. Absolutely can relate to Trinity ways of acceptance of ppl especially after having my daughter. My life changed so quickly I'm in that space as well.

    The last couple months the Lord has really been convicting me about this and I'm realizing i was not a good steward of my friendships in the past.
    The big thing for me is recognizing that when the friendship is changing in a season, not to "ghost" a person but to communicate first and then make a decision.

  • @antoinycemathis5204
    @antoinycemathis5204 5 місяців тому +1

    YES - that SO POWERFUL... lean into intimacy WITH GOD, not only into intimacy with friends. We have to realize that God has given us friends as a part of His glory story for us - NOT to be the end all be all in our lives - they are NOT the source of glory, HE is. We can often idolize the very things (and people) GOD has given us... and put HIM on the backburner.

  • @BriaBarrows
    @BriaBarrows 6 місяців тому +1

    Trauma and having that in friendships with women is where a lot of it stems from. I also think some women are just mean. lol and it’s getting worse with the generation. Megan is right, “we don’t want to weather the storms with people” which is true. I think getting to know God and getting to know yourself is necessary in relationships with others. And what kind of friend do you desire? Deep friendships? Surface? I personally can’t do surface and trust is a big thing with me. I need to trust who I’m friends with. But, as she said, people are human. It’s hard. But I definitely think as women we can be nicer to each other and check it when we aren’t. We naturally criticize and are hard on ourselves and in turn do it to others. 🙏🏾
