The Friendship Recession

Twenty Something Teenage Girl

In this episode I cover everything platonic. The good, the bad, and the ugly. In this day in age, more and more people are reporting having less and less friends. Our 20s seem to be the time where we make and lose the most friends often deeming this decade as a friendship recession. If you find yourself questioning whether or not your social circles serve you or wanting to make new friends, this is the episode for you. In this episode I dive into exercises, practices, and tips that aid in evaluating your current friendships, making new ones, and becoming your own bestie. Enjoy :)
