We all need someone who we could rely on for genuine feedback and constructive criticism. In fact, science says a strong support system is essential, and can even help improve health outcomes. When you think of a support system, you might imagine yourself as a character in Friends or How I Met Your Mother. You and your five best buddies, hanging out at your favorite coffee house or an apartment, ranting about your day. As great as that sounds, the roots must go deeper, to the point they can be part of your creative, professional, and personal journey. A support system is the safety net when times get tough. These are the people who will pull you up no matter what. It’s time to invest in them so that they’ll be there for you! This episode is dedicated to the many amazing people who have been there for us in the best moments and the not so great.
