Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

Some of our friendships are very easy to maintain — each person gets an all-around good feeling from keeping contact with their friend.
But there are some relationships where the energy just fades. Keeping up the friendship becomes more work than it’s worth. At what point do you know that the friendship has run its course and no longer merits the effort to reach out to that person on a regular basis?
I put this sticky question to my guests on this edition of Quick Hits. They all had helpful insights into how we can navigate the difficult waters of an uneven friendship.
Diane Helbig, founder of Helbig Enterprises, told us that “I struggle with friends when I’m the only one making the effort.”
We all agreed that a worthwhile friendship is one in which both parties feel invested. As Jim Lee, a financial futurist at StratFi said, “The important thing about friendship is that we both reciprocate.”
If we no longer feel that the relationship is balanced, transformational coach Cami Travis-Groves, has some sage advice: “It’s up to you to do a little self-check to find out if you’re spending more energy than you’re getting back from the relationship.”
Have you ever struggled to stay in touch with friends? How and when did you decide to just let it go?
