Summary

All month long we’ve been talking about friendship – how to make new friends, reconnect with current ones, and ways to support and grow with each other as the seasons change.

This week I’m back with an all new Q&A where I answer your questions about friendship. I share my thoughts on losing friends to distance, ways to make friends in a new city, how to attract aligned friendship, and more.
