In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What’s driving the loneliness epidemic and what effect that has on us.
  • The concept of “dynamic friendships” and the 8 tenets of friendships — and how they can support your relationships.
  • Why it’s harder to make friends in adulthood and what to do about it.
