Friendship – Who Stays, Who Goes and Why

What if friendship isn’t something you find…

What if it’s something you build?

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why friendships naturally change throughout life
  • The difference between situational friends and lifelong friends
  • Why it’s okay to grieve a friendship that has ended
  • How friendships after 50 can become richer than ever
  • Why no one person can meet all of your emotional needs
  • How staying open and curious leads to meaningful new connections

The right friendships don’t need constant attention.

They simply need care, curiosity and the occasional phone call.

Turns out… some of the best friendships of your life might still be waiting to meet you.
