The Trusted Friend
Welcome to ”The Trusted Friend,” the podcast that’s like a group therapy session, but without the awkward silences or the stale pastries. We all know that life can be a wild ride - sometimes it feels like we’re soaring on cloud nine, and other times we’re face-planting into the dirt. But no matter where we are on that rollercoaster, there’s one thing that can help us all feel a little less alone - sharing our stories. That’s what ”The Trusted Friend” is all about. We’re a podcast where we’ll be sharing stories of life’s ups and downs, joys and tragedies, losses and triumphs. And we’ll be doing it all with a healthy dose of humour, wit, and sarcasm. We’re not your typical self-help podcast - we won’t be giving you any cheesy advice like ”just think positive!” or ”breathe in, breathe out.” Instead, we’ll be sharing real stories from real people, with all the messy, complicated, and hilarious details. So if you’re looking for a podcast that’s equal parts heartwarming and hilarious, tune in to ”The Trusted Friend.” We promise to be the friends you can count on - even if we’re just voices coming out of your headphones.
