Friendships. Jen Louden and I talked about friendships on our first of many co-hosts together. This created quite a stir and really touched many of you. We received lots of emails telling us our conversation on Friendship + Belonging + Loneliness resonated with your lives and you had quite a few questions for us.

Due to the response from that conversation, Jen and I decided to do a followup. This time we talk about friendships and overcoming inadequacies.

Extend that compassion to yourself.
