Finding (and keeping) friendships as an adult isn't as easy as it used to be. But we heal when we have people. Loneliness has the same effect on mortality as smoking 15 cigarettes in a day.
On today's episode, Rebekah Lyons discusses the causes and effects that loneliness has on us as individuals and the power that friendship has on our emotional development and stability.
She discusses the importance of being vulnerable with one another (and how to open up when you aren't used to it) and the importance of being a friend who reciprocates feelings, conversation and intentionality.
