August 09, 2023204: Friendship Series - Honoring the Long Game in Friendships with Deanna DiCroce
In this episode, I sit down with one of my best friends, Deanna DiCroce, to talk about all things adult friendships and how she and I have stayed close through the years. We compare communication styles, how we have navigated staying in touch despite being in different places in our lives, and why it’s useful to think of friendships as seesaws. She also shares how open and honest communication is most helpful when trying to support a friend in postpartum, why pressure and expectations can sink a friendship, and why letting friendships go is also okay. Finally, we discuss the importance of checking our egos and needs for external validation, and why working through conflict benefits all relationships.

Key Takeaway / Points:
How we have stayed close over the past twelve years despite being in very different places in our lives
On knowing your friend’s communication styles and navigating around those to keep in touch
On thinking of friendships as seesaws with ebbs and flows
On being open about how friends can support you and vice versa, especially during postpartum
