"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." ~ Jim Rohn
Who are the 5 people in your inner circle? Do they encourage, inspire and lift you up? Or are they always complaining, criticizing and vomiting negativity?

I host a self-development book club and we are currently reading A Tribe Called Bliss: Break Through Superficial Friendships, Create Real Connections, Reach Your Highest Potential by Lori Harder. It is a fantastic book that dives head first into female relationships, comparison, competition, isolation and how to find the tribe that was meant for you.
