Hi guys. Welcome back to the pod. Huge thank you to Instagram for sponsoring the AMA portion

of today's episode. I am so excited. I mean, I'm literally obsessed with Instagram. So this

is very cool for me. We are going to be talking all about the importance of friendship and how

we prioritize it. So that is the theme of the mini AMA today. It's something that we talk about a

lot and something that is obviously so important to me earlier this week on Insta. I asked you

guys to submit your questions on all things friendship and connection because look, it is not always

easy. I really, really want to focus on the importance of authentically connecting and really

maintaining your friendships. It's just it's not always easy. This has been a theme lately on the pod

and I'm so excited to partner with Instagram. Like I said, Instagram knows that meaningful

connection doesn't just happen. It's something that you make. And on Instagram, it is those small

everyday actions that can lead to big friendships. And I don't know just like one personal example

for me is AMA. So for me, that is how I authentically connect with you guys. I feel like I'm hanging

out with you. And it's kind of crazy to think that I have done AMA every single Monday and Thursday

since 2020, right? So for three years, I have done that. And that is how I've gotten to know my

community, my audience, how I know what's on your mind. So I think that's also why this is such a

meaningful partnership to me is because that is literally the way that I connect with you guys.

But enough about me, let us get to the questions. Okay. So Tiffany, 17 Atlanta. Oh my god, I can't believe

you're 17. Tings, I am in high school and I'm slowly realizing this is the last year that my group

of girls and myself will all be together in this way for the rest of our lives. As I come to grips,

I want some advice and tricks on how we can keep our bond strong both via Instagram and any other

ways you recommend. So start that group chat. I mean, I'm sure you already have the group chat,

but the group chat can be an amazing way to just connect. You can also make groups on Instagram.
