What We’re Learning About Friendship (Part Two)
For part two of our friendship series, we’re chatting about what’s in our friendship toolboxes. From taking initiative (rather than taking turns) to learning our friends’ love languages, we’re getting practical about how to show up for our people. We talk about porch drop-offs, tiny thoughtful gestures, the beauty of accepting help, and loving our friends’ kids well. We hope this episode encourages you to be the friend you want to have. Because, ultimately, that’s the best place to start!
