friendships. This was a hot topic that I pulled my audience about several months ago on Instagram,

and I'm so happy to bring on my best friend who's an expert at creating and maintaining deep

friendships, my husband Neil. Together, we talk about the importance of having good friends,

where to find those friends, what to do, and what not to do to make sure your friendships are rooted in

trust and even some advice for parents whose kids are struggling with friendships. We hope that you'll

find some of these ideas helpful and uplifting in this episode. And if you do, we'd love to

hear about it at the end if you'll take just a second to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts.

Okay, guys, welcome.

It's Neil and me tonight.

Hello, welcome.

Yes, we are recording this.

It's actually been kind of a crazy day.

We had someone else lined up who I'm super excited to have on the podcast.

The timing didn't work out. And I actually

feel like it's kind of meant to be. I think sometimes those things happen. And so today's topic is

one that I promised on my Insta stories months ago that I would talk about. And then life got busy and

I forgot to come back to it. I kept putting it off and forgetting.

And so we're finally going to tackle the topic of friends.

And friendship, adult friendship, teenage friendships, all of the things related to friends.

So I want to start this off by sharing how that topic came about.

So a few months ago, I just randomly put on my Insta stories a little survey about friendships.

And I said, do you struggle with friendships?
