Love them or hate them, you're probably in a group chat once in a while or even very regularly. Author, Kat Vellos, and I are navigating the world of group texts and all the friendship issues and potential that come along with them.

Kat and I discuss the ideal uses for group chats, the less than ideal uses, and all the potential etiquette opportunities that could make our group chats more effective and enjoyable. I say opportunities because sometimes etiquette has a bad rap, but when done well, it can make communication better.

 Kat Vellos is the author of We Should Get Together: The Secret to Cultivating Better Friendships. She's a sought after speaker and facilitator who helps people experience authentic connections and develop healthier friendships.

If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen me posting about Kat's book and sharing her posts. And everyone should follow Kat at Instagram, where she shares fantastic illustrations that go along with her work that she has created herself. However, she saves her best gems for her fantastic newsletter!
