Apple Podcasts5Jen CoteUnited States14 days ago - Helped My Friendships
I love this podcast. I found it googling “best friendship podcasts” because I felt I was overthinking my friendships and not feeling super positive about my efforts. It is a very comfortable and practical listen.
I have really benefitted from thinking of reciprocity in a different way as well as being reminded often to offer grace and the benefit of the doubt. Thanks Nina!
