About this listen
n this episode of Cocktales with Brandi, Brandi pours into a heartfelt conversation centered on the strong friend. The one who always shows up, keeps it together, and carries more than most people ever notice. Joined by a close strong friend, YaYa, who brings a background in psychology, the conversation names the quiet weight that often comes with being dependable. Together, they explore how the strong friend identity forms and how it shows up in relationships, family dynamics, and adulthood.
With honesty, humor, and care, this episode unpacks why strong friends struggle to ask for help and what burnout can look like when strength becomes a role instead of a choice. The conversation also offers intentional ways to better support the strong friends in our lives without adding to their load. Affirming, eye opening, and deeply relatable, this episode creates space for reflection, validation, and relief. If you have ever been the strong friend or loved one, this is your reminder to pour a glass, press play, and listen closely.
