About this episode

Hey Team! Welcome back to my podcast Today I'm Growing. I'm so excited to have you here!

In this episode, I’m talking about friendships and how they’ve shaped my life—from childhood memories to how hard it can be to make new friends as an adult. I’ll share my own story of how I let friendships fade and what I’m doing now to focus on the people who truly matter.

I’ll also chat about recognizing real friendships, dealing with awkward social situations, and stepping out of your comfort zone to meet new people. 

Big hug, Anna xx 🌸
