Adults Need Friends Too: Benefits of Deeper Friendships #069

Happy New Year! While 2020 is over, many of us are still struggling with loneliness caused (or made worse) by a global pandemic. Even in the best of times, parenting can be isolating.

So, we are talking about the value and benefits of intentional pursuit of friendships with a handful of people you respect, care for, and want to more deeply engage with. We process the requirement to take initiative, the fear of rejection, the guilt we may feel (but don't need to feel), and how to start with just a few small steps. Plus some thoughts on how to model healthy friendships for our kids.


The Stat of the Week is about the impact of sleep on interpersonal connection and the importance of relationships of our long-term health and happiness.
