NoorJehan Tourte, Millennial, joins Yo to talk about friendship, love, and values.
About NoorJehan:
After unexpectedly making it to the semi-finals of the 2022 Sports Illustrated Swim Search Competition, she has made it her mission to get women excited about the prospect of falling on their faces, over and over, if it means they are making their one life on this earth count. She believed that becoming a Sports Illustrated model would represent the culmination of a lifetime spent searching for her true identity, but the experience helped her realize that her childhood dream was not only to be a cover model, but also a role model, one who empowers ladies to show the world every side, from every angle, unapologetically. Amidst the multitude of societal pressures put on women to conform, she wants to reassure her fellow females that living the life you painstakingly cultivated for yourself is worth even the worst of days, the worst of moments. Because wouldn’t you rather stumble living life, than squander it standing still?
Here are 3 takeaways from today’s episode:
1. Values play a role in friendships and perhaps the most
important are authenticity and having a “judgement-free” zone.
2. Broken trust is perhaps the key reason friendships end.
3. The emotion of empathy may be a lot easier to say than to really practice..
