Looking for life-giving friendships where you are accepted, loved and fought for?

Imagine What's Possible

Imagine friendships where you feel truly seen and heard.

Where you can share what's on your heart without fear of judgement or having it minimised.

Where celebrating your success doesn't trigger jealousy, and sharing your struggles doesn't make you a burden.

Imagine connections where the giving flows both ways naturally.

Where you don't have to keep score because both of you are showing up. Where initiating plans doesn't fall only on your shoulders. Where you can say "I need support right now" and know someone will be there—because you've been there for them too.

Imagine friendships where you can disagree without the relationship falling apart.

Where "no, I see it differently" doesn't lead to silent treatment or passive aggression. Where conflict becomes an opportunity to understand each other better, not a threat to the connection.

Imagine belonging to a tribe where you're accepted as you are.

Not the polished version. Not the "always have it together" version. The real you—messy bits, growing edges, and all. Where your people fight for you, even when you cannot fight for yourself.

This isn't fantasy. This is what healthy, mutual friendships look like.

And with the right framework, you can build them.

Welcome to Navigating Humans

I’m Dr Angie Ho, the founder of Navigating Humans. We are dedicated to building stronger friendships in adulthood. I am glad you are here!

Have you ever poured your heart into a close friendship… giving, listening, sharing, doing life together… only to feel blindsided when things suddenly shift? One moment it feels like ‘we’re best friends’ and the next you are wondering what went wrong.

There is more to human relationships than meets the eye. At Navigating Humans, I help people set their friendships up for success. To identify and deepen connections for long-term close relationships. And to make sense of moments like the above.

Why generic friendship principles don't work

Social Health GPS®

A decision-making framework for friendships

The Social Health GPS is created from relationship stories.
Stories from family and friends, colleagues, clients and patients. My stories.

Before active listening skills and empathy…
Before emotional awareness and regulation…
Before conflict resolution skills or boundary setting…
Before these, there is one question:

What is the relational position of this connection in your social network?

The relational position of a relationship helps you decide what to do, when to do it, and how much to do.

This framework guides you through identifying a relationship’s connection type, the connection’s closeness, and the pattern of giving and receiving in relationships.
