Imagine you have a best friend. Someone who gets your jokes and makes you laugh, shares your dreams and supports you. A friend who loves what you love and shares time with you and your family. Your lives revolve around each other. Then one day, out of the blue, they phone you and tell you the relationship is over they don't want to be friends anymore. How would you feel? Hurt? Devastated? Angry? Sharing a conversation with me is Dr Sharon Livingston a top marketing strategist, communications expert and the author of the book Get Lost Girlfriend-How I Found Myself When My Best Friend Dumped Me, a fictional account of her experience of being 'dumped' by her BFF. She experienced the pain and bewilderment of being dumped out of the blue by someone she considered to be her closet and 'best friend. She was devastated at first but as she began to come to terms with what had happened she began to realise that mixed in with the pain and sense of loss was a sense of finding something new and more supportive. She realised she could be her own best friend and in every crises there's an opportunity too! I love recording these conversations.
