Podcast – My Advice on Friendship

episode
Description

I recently took to Instagram — which, by the way, is the most direct way to stay connected with me, daily — and asked if you had any questions in regard to friendships. Today, I answer those questions “Dear Abby” style!

 

You’ll find out:

  • What you need to realize if there’s a common theme (AKA problem) in all your friendships
  • The #1 most common response I received from listeners re: friendship
  • Why loving yourself brings the right friends into your life
  • The value of time
  • Why friends tend to share similar traits
  • My personal experience with a friend who shares different spiritual beliefs
  • A great place online to make friends

Questions tackled today:

  • “What do I do if I stopped drinking, but my friends are still drinkers? I love them, but I want to leave and find new friends.”
  • “How do you let go of a friend who you know is bad for you and you’re very forgiving?”
  • “How do I avoid feeling hurt when I’ve been left out?”
  • “How do I maintain healthy relationships? I’m a woman who has ADHD and RSD.”
  • “How to put aside political differences?”
  • “How do I give advice to a friend who can’t take it?”
  • “What do you do if you’re kid has a best friend, but his mom is not your jam?”
  • “One-sided friendships. How do I cope?”
