This was a great episode! I’m chewing on so much of it. Like Sarah, I feel like each of my water features are a little larger than she said. Am I doing it wrong? I would be interested to hear if anybody else also feels like the number ranges are a little different for you.

I have been thinking about this episode A LOT.

For me, I realized that social media really messed up my tiers. I’ve been off IG/FB/Tiktok since early November and I think I had lots of people that I was TRYING to fit in the jacuzzi (or any higher tier) because of seeing their posts and stories. Now being off social has made me realize that there are plenty of “friendships” that really aren’t what I thought they’d be. Not in like a hard feelings way, but if someone is not interacting with me in some way outside of Instagram & I don’t have the strong urge to do the same thing, it’s helped me more appropriately categorize them. As much as I’d like to, I don’t actually have the time/energy/resources to be a really amazing friend to everyone I know. Same for them. And that’s totally okay! It’s been a big relief actually.

I definitely feel like my water feature numbers are bigger than that! I am a pretty open person and so it's not that I tell all of my business and private thoughts to everyone, but I have a lot of people I've been close to my life and even though we don't keep in touch all the time (the busyness of this phase of life), I often open up about anything and everything when we do get together or have a long 2-hour chat. If the bathtub tier means it's someone that you are doing day-to-day life with, then a lot of these friends wouldn't qualify. But if the bathtub tear is someone that you feel like you can be your authentic self with and share your values, ideas, experiences, etc freely, then I have a lot of people I would put in my bathtub and in my jacuzzi 😂

Ok yes thank you, that’s helpful! Because I started to second-guess and think my tiers were wrong, and maybe I only THINK those people are bathtub or jacuzzi people and instead I don’t have any bathtub or jacuzzi people at all and I’m just unnaturally attached to my swimming pool people. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I prefer to think that I just have a large bathtub and a large jacuzzi; thanks for helping me have permission to think that. 😀

(I wish we could edit comments. I just noticed that voice to text did not serve me well just now 🤦)
