#213 How to Breakup With Friends with Er...

BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

Today on the podcast I'm joined by Erin Falconer, author of the book How to Breakup With Your Friends and we're discussing all things friendship breakups. In this episode we talk about why it's so important to take a regular inventory of your friendships and how they are serving you (similar to how we need to do this for romantic relationships after a breakup), why friendships drift apart, how to address a friendship breakup, how to make friends as an adult and so much more.

I highly recommend Erin's book if you're feeling stuck in the realm of friendships!
