Noelle Santorelli

Ooh, boy.

Uh, we have to get a doctor in here, don't we? W- w- Dr., uh, Noelle Santorelli is a clinical psychologist and a ch- adjunct faculty member at Emory School of Medicine's Department of Psychi- Psychiatry and Behavioral Science.

"People often come to me and say, 'I finished such and such a book and I can't live with my husband anymore.'" People meaning women.

"Now, uh, do they actually leave? Usually no, but it is a catalyst to help them reevaluate what's going well and not well in their relationships." Yep.

Yeah.

And it's sometimes having those really hard conversations like we talked about in the friendship episode with Dr. Noelle Santorelli, that you have to set those good boundaries because friendships evolve and life evolves and what you need now in this moment and that's going to bring you joy is okay that it's different 20 years than 20 years beforehand.

Exactly.

And that's that

And speaking of interesting people, today's episode is all about friendships, exclusion, cliques, and the complicated relationships that many women, moms, and girls experience.

Joining me is Dr. Noelle Santorelli, a mom from Atlanta, Georgia, and a therapist who works with women and families who brings so much insight to this conversation.

And I'm really excited to talk to her.

I think that Beginning of the school year, this stuff is going to kind of pop up with people.

And friendships can be some of the most meaningful relationships in our lives, but they can also be messy and complicated, as we discussed.

And hopefully today's conversation reminds us all that healthy relationships are built on kindness, respect, boundaries, and authenticity.

Be sure to follow Dr. Noelle at Dr. Noelle Santorelli.

And I will put that in the show notes and link you in my posts and stuff so people can see the spelling of it on Instagram and Facebook.
