Summary
We're taking a holiday break but, we'll be back next week. Please enjoy this timeless rerun from our friendship month earlier this year!
Elise prepares for her birthday weekend in Mexico City and Doree witnesses the perils of rain in LA! Then, they invite Rhaina Cohen, author of The Other Significant Others, on to discuss why prioritizing friendship doesn’t mean being anti-marriage, the power of “just ask” in building your relationship with new and old friends, the balance of showing up for and leaning on your friends, and how to more actively invest in existing friendships and cultivate new ones.
