Doing THIS Changed My Life | Why I Became a Friendship Minimalist

🌿 Why I Choose Quality Over Quantity in Friendships | Embracing Introversion + Healing Childhood Wounds 🌿

Hello friends,
Welcome (or welcome back) to my channel. 💛

In today’s video, I’m sharing something deeply personal: what I’ve learned about friendships, introversion, and the power of choosing quality over quantity. After 44 years of trying to “fit in,” I’ve finally come to understand why many social circles never felt quite right—and it’s been life-changing.

💬 Why did I always feel like an outsider?
💬 Why did I never feel drawn to having a “BFF” like so many others seemed to?
💬 And why do I feel so much peace now with fewer, deeper friendships?

Thanks to the work of Danielle Bayard Jackson, I learned about the 3 essential traits every strong female friendship needs:
✨ Symmetry – equality, balance, and mutual effort
✨ Support – emotional connection and solidarity
✨ Secrecy – trust and self-disclosure

This helped me unpack my past friendship struggles, understand how childhood wounds shaped my social habits, and finally embrace the value of true connection over surface-level socializing.

As an introvert living in the peaceful Canadian countryside with my husband and three children, I’ve also found deep joy in a slower, more intentional life—filled with voice notes, crafting, and cozy evenings. I talk about knitting a scarf, sewing my own clothes, and keeping my social calendar light, only saying “yes” to what truly nourishes me.

🤍 If you’ve ever felt on the outside of social circles, confused about your friendships, or pressured to be more “social” than you really are—this video is for you.
