Description
I'm so excited to announce our brand-new series, "Friends on Friendships"! Join us over the next 5 weeks as we learn together how to forge transformative, healing, and life-giving friendships.
We are kicking things off with an incredible conversation with Dr. Curt Thompson, Amy Cella, and Pepper Sweeney, who are real life friends and hosts of The Being Known Podcast. We laughed so much during this episode, and at least 2 of us also cried ? . You don't want to miss all the gems about friendship throughout this conversation.
Here’s what we cover:
1. Why friendship is a risk worth taking
2. The most important ingredient for safe friendships
3. The physics of “taking your friends with you” (even when they can't be with you).
4. Laughter as a form of intimacy
5. Why 3 is most definitely not a crowd
6. Glimmers vs. Triggers
Check out Curt’s brand new book The Deepest Place, available for preorder.
