Friends! How many of us have them? Or maybe the question should be how many of us could maintain the friendship and the changes that happen within them? We’re responding to a listener's question about friendship.
Friendships change and require navigation and boundaries. That requires vulnerability and communication. UGH we know that is not always easy but what is the alternative? Being petty? Walking on eggshells and not talking? Being passive aggressive? Constantly ending friendships?
Join this conversation with us as we try to navigate this situation and what happens when friendships change and require boundaries and communication. We are out here trying to Stay Mentally Dope!
