Ep.124 What Does It Take To Maintain Adu...

Alia Zaita & Yoni Ekoto
About this episode

Making and keeping friends as an adult is harder than it looks, especially with long-distance friends. Is texting each other every few weeks enough to maintain a close friendship? Is replying to your friend’s Instagram story an actual interaction or just an easy way to feel like you don’t owe them a call? In this episode, we explored the idea of friendship maintenance and what that looks like for both of us, especially since we have very different approaches to staying connected to others. Enjoy the listen!
