In this episode, Jewel tackles the intriguing world of medium-tier friendships - you know, the ones that aren't your ride-or-die but definitely more than just Facebook acquaintances. She shares some eye-opening insights from a recent workshop that had participants rethinking the way they approach their friendships.

We dive into why these "in-between" relationships matter more than you'd think, affecting everything from your work life to your overall well-being. Jewel unpacks the unique challenges of these friendships, like the awkward dance of figuring out who to prioritize and when.

Get ready for some practical advice on being a stellar medium friend without losing your sanity, and how to navigate the murky waters of friendship expectations. Jewel also connects the dots between self-worth and how we show up in these relationships, offering some food for thought that might just change your approach.

By the end, you'll have a fresh perspective on friendship as an ever-evolving art form. Whether you're a social butterfly or more of a selective socializer, this episode's got something for everyone looking to enhance their friendships.
