Have You Ever One-dered??

I can hardly believe this is the culmination of the adult friendship series! Let’s go out with some whimsy ;) Happy Thanksgiving, C

The time has finally come. After everything we’ve been through in this series, after everything you’ve been through in your friendship, what do you do when it’s time to let go? Let’s talk about separating from a real friend, ways that you can know if that’s the best next step, and how you can do it in a way that hopefully won’t burn bridges. So grateful you’re here; take care of yourself, C

We’re continuing our talk about love and the part it can play in your friendships (and all other types of human interactions!) It’s a multi-faceted idea, so understanding its parts can be beneficial as you attempt to define and describe the affinity you have for another person :) ESPECIALLY for native English or English-only speakers As I heard someone say yesterday, “Love is Everything” and the j...

This is a big week around here, and not just because of the impending holiday in the US this week. We’re coming down the other side of the mountain when it comes to this monumental adult friendship series! And we still have a lot to cover before we’re finally done, so for that reason and at least one other ;) we’re spending almost this entire week wrapping it up. Beginning today with Friendship an...

It’s a Song of the Week! I am so excited to present to you this brand new music-centered feature on the show. Last year we had a blast (my word) listening to 300 albums and discussing them together. Ever since I have known that we were going to get back to holding space to talk specifically about music on the pod, regularly. And just about a year after we started that massive undertaking, the time...

Sometimes adults have children. Sometimes adults don’t have children. (Both are fine, btw.) And SOMETIMES, these two types of people want to be friends. Can it work?? It can work (!), if you work it. But there are some things you may need to keep in mind.. Don’t give up, C

We’re not talking about money. Be encouraged! I’m thrilled that you’re here, C

We’re wrapping up our anti-scam discussion this week by finishing the recommendations for ways you can avoid or mitigate the ability of a nefarious actor to scam you. I don’t want this to happen to you. I don’t want this to happen to me. I don’t want us to treat each other in these ways. But in this economy, it’s a possibility. Stay mindful, C

How can we avoid some of these scams, especially as they increase in frequency?? Take care of yourself and others, C

I did not want to talk about this and yet we didn’t even get a chance to cover everything I had planned. I wish we didn’t need to talk about this. We should be so much better to each other than this https://www.thecut.com/article... Stay vigilant. And Happy Veteran’s Day: Thank you for your service if you serve or served, C

What are your Thanksgiving desserts going to look like? (If you have the time, inclination, resources, and privilege to ask that question.) Need some ideas??

Like literally, be aware of their behavior and what it could mean towards their intentions, their real or imagined affinity for you, the impact they have on the way that you feel and your life in general. Whether you keep these people around or not is up to you. B...

It’s important to be aware of for your benefit, and for the benefit of those around you. “We can do hard things!” :)...
