Episode notes

What is vulnerable to you is what you have been taught to be ashamed of. For me, showing up in my most vulnerable is I need help. We can look for those uncharacteristic moments from our friends. When the friend that never asks for support is asking for support, it might be a really important moment and we should try to show up.

1. Practical ways to make a friend and become what Dr. Franco calls a “Super-friend.”

2. How to address issues with a friend even if you hate conflict.

3. Why expressing anger is more likely to deepen a relationship than destroy it.

4. How we need to express vulnerability to make friends – but first, what the hell is vulnerability?

5. Destroying the unhelpful myth that friendship happens organically.
