Nina Badzin has been writing about friendship since 2014. She's the host of Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship podcast and the co-founder of the writing studio at ModernWell in Minneapolis.

In today’s episode we discuss: 

• Making new friends.

• How to nurture an acquaintance and take the friendship to the next level.

• Balancing the desire for new friendships versus nurturing old ones.

• How circles change when you become an empty nester.

• Ways to handle disappointment or the feeling of rejection in the process of making new friends.

• Personal friendship stories. Head on over to YouTube  to watch this fun episode. We are so grateful to share it with you today.
