Howdy there; today, I am discussing the impact of platonic relationships and the markers of true friendship. As human beings, I believe interpersonal relationships are vital to our ability to create meaningful lives; furthermore, scientifically, those with positive relationships experience increased mental health outcomes. In this episode, I talk about how my deep friendships have influenced my personal growth and ability to love on a platonic level. We all deserve to be seen and heard in our most authentic form. The people in my life have provided that space for me, and I am forever thankful.
