Unlock the life that was made for you. Through this limited series podcast  xoNecole and Tampax are providing a safe space for you to unapologetically indulge in topics about wellbeing, relationships, and career.Navigating non-toxic relationships is always tricky, especially amongst Black women who often carry the burden of their communities. Many Gen Z women hold true that in order to be a friend to others, you must first be a friend to yourself. In this episode, Gia and the incredible model, activist, and influencer Ebonee Davis get candid about checking on your friends, using life’s pain to walk in purpose, and the importance of discussing our health with our friends and advocating for ourselves at the doctor’s office. While solid friendships may be harder to find and build in adulthood than in grade school, they are incredibly satisfying and well worth the highs and lows they bring. This conversation will knock down barriers to communication by stressing the importance of boundaries, vulnerability and showing up. We know that Gen Z women are far more open to talking about intimate topics like relationships and mental health publicly, which will make this an enriching conversation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
