#137 The Power of Friendship with Dr. Ma...

BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

In today's episode I interview Dr. Marisa G Franco, author of the New York Times Best-Selling Book, Platonic. In this episode we talk about why friendship isn't as valued as romantic relationships and why they should be of equal value. We talk about all of the benefits of having close intimate friendships, and we answer the question of how do you make friends as an adult?

You can order Platonic anywhere you get books!
