Is it possible to have a friend that you've never met in real life? In our modern times the answer is: definitely.
We can keep in touch virtually. Video calls, texting, keeping tabs on social media. Meeting in real life absolutely has its advantages. But it isn't the only way we can build friendships. You can build connection virtually, though it is different than in person. It requires trust and setting boundaries.

How comfortable are you with yourself?
That makes a difference in how you show up, for yourself and your friends. When you know and care for yourself you don't need to take what others say or do personally. And you can understand where your friend is coming from--and that it isn't about you. We project a lot onto other people (in some ways, your relationship with a friend is only in your own head), but when we know and understand who our friends are, there is nothing to take personally.
Join us as we speak with Jamie Lerner, therapist and co-author of the book The Ever-Loving Essence of You, who can put a fresh spin on just about anything that anyone throws her way.
You can learn more about Jamie on her website, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Are you socially connected at work?
Those who work typically spend a lot of time at work. And work friendship are a benefit, but can get complicated. We want to find our own tribe within the workplace, but what do we do when someone leaves--does the friendship end? As we get older, our roles in the workplace evolve, and that can change friendship relationships, too.
