Welcome to The Safe Space.

Today my guest is Prarthana Chandran, a good friend of mine from university. We have an open and honest conversation about our friendship on this episode. She is a Christian, and in my words a "devout" one, and we discuss if that limits our ability to be friends. It was actually a conversation I am worried about, thinking there are limitations on our friendship and how much I can rely on her because of our deep differences in value and perspective. She helped me understand why that is not the case for her, and get over the anxieties I had about that. It is a relevant conversation for anyone with friends with fundamental disagreements. If you have ever had a friend you are struggling to connect deeper with and want to know why, this will be a valuable conversation.
