Kristen Kalinka is a friend, in particular, a long distance friend!

The world has become an increasingly mobile and transient place. Because of this, our friends are moving everywhere, and oftentimes, it's easy for these friendships to go by the wayside. BUT, it doesn't always have to be that way. Instead, you can keep those relationships intact and fight back loneliness and regret. 

Now, Kristen also works for a big corporation where she's an Employee Engagement Manager and she sees a lot of human dynamics in the corporate world. Yet, we don't touch on that much. Rather, we chose to focus on friendships because we believe that will help out the world the most!

In this episode you can expect to hear about: 

• how to navigate self-comparison
• what to do if you feel like you're growing apart from a friend
• how to make friends at work
• why we look at ourselves more than others on video chats
• when we're freaking out about our life plans
• how to navigate friend breakups
• one way to make people feel welcome
• what it's like to move back home

Stay true - be you! Life is better when you're yourself.
