Jen Glantz is a writer and was one of my earlier coaching clients. She wrote a piece on me for NBC News titled "I hired a friendship coach. Here's what happened." and today I catch up with her about her experience. We also talk about her business which is called "Bridesmaid for Hire", where women pay her to be in their bridal party. She talks to me about the tender friendship issues women confess to her on their wedding day and the anxiety around selecting friends for your bridal party.
