#159: How to Make Your Friendships Stronger

You might have friends that you think you’re close to, but are you really? Most people say they don’t want surface-level friendships, but I think because of capitalism, hustle culture, and the individualistic way in which we live, our friendships have inevitably become surface level even if both people are actually rather deep! It’s just hard to translate that depth to another person unless you know how to intentionally take it there. In this episode, Mary talks about how to make your existing friendships stronger.

You will learn about...

- the importance of having fulfilling friendships and how to foster them

- some friend date ideas that are much more fun that your typical lunch date

- tips for getting your friends together in a wholesome way

Remember: it takes a village for you to thrive. We are not meant to walk through life alone.
