In this episode, host Shira discusses a recent study that highlights the significant impact of good friends on overall health. This study followed over 4,000 people and found that positive social experiences not only impacted stress levels and coping ability, but also markers of physical health. Shira reflects on how this makes sense and discusses how important friendships are to her personally. She also offers suggestions for staying connected with friends as life gets busy, such as habit stacking and simple gestures like sending a text or a funny meme. Tell us how you connect intentionally with friends, whether that be a dinner party, a group chat, or something totally unique to you! DM Shira on Instagram  or tell us your thoughts via an Apple Podcast review.
