Summary
Cultivating relationship and leaning into friendship and support is one of the most productive things we can do in our lives.
In this episode, I'm joined by Erika Herridge, my best friend of 20 years, about how we have created strategies for staying close while living hundreds of miles apart. We also share an exercise that I use to manage my inner critic, we emphasize the importance of a village-like support system in life and even how we can get along when we have very different opinions. We dive into parenting, friendship, and cultivating meaningful connections in our lives.
