What do you do when your friendship falls into a routine of constant complaining? While it may feel good to occasionally vent, "chronic complainers" suffer from an ongoing negative mindset-- and it can take quite a toll on a friendship.

Here's the timeline for today's episode:  I'll share 

1. how I accidentally became a chronic complainer, 

2. how I got out of it,

3.  4 phrases to say when a friend launches into complain-mode, 

4. the research that shows the impact it literally has on our brains every time we engage! 

We've all been guilty, so tune in to this episode to learn how to manage your friends' constant complaining (and your own!).
