Good evening, everybody. How are y'all doing? Welcome to the show. We've got a great show plan for you. As always, DMs always open.

Happy to help. We're here for you. Doctors always in. You got a question for us.

Drop in the DMs on our Loveline IG page. And past episodes of Loveline are always over at We Are ChannelQ.com.

But like I said, great show. We're going to be starting off by talking about

tips to maintain lasting healthy adult friendships and relationships what we should know this

stuff by now well unfortunately we don't you know one of my uh one of the funest parts of my job

is tracking things and pop culture is a really great place to start.

Often it hurts my little therapist's soul when I see some of the things that we are normalizing,

getting familiar with.

So I'm always trying to kind of give a counter perspective to that.

As always, everything I talk about is very applicable to um something outside of whatever the

entry point is so even if i'm talking about marriage it often relates to any other kind of

relationship and this is something that applies i think universally across the board

hopefully we're always working on being better people study show quantity doesn't mean as much as

the quality of friendships now sit with that for a

second. And I have clients do that sometimes. I'll say, let's just take a minute to an assessment

of all the different relationships that you're a part of. Kind of give them a letter grade.

Average that out. And that's somewhat of a, you know, determinant of your mental health,

because this is what you're constantly influenced by, bathing your psyche and nervous system in.

This is people you're seeking counsel and advice from. These are conversations that you're, you know, people are having conversations with, which is normalizing or helping you unlearn or learn better or worse skill sets.

Yeah, stuff really matters.

So we always want to pay attention to that.
