In this episode, I talk about the idea that we don't need to have just one friend (or partner, or parent, or child, or whatever) who is all things to us. Instead, we can diversify and have work friends, and friends from our childhoods, and friends who are the parents of our kids' friends. We can have friends who love bike riding and friends who love going to the movies and we don't have to force the bike riding friend to go to the movies or vice versa. We can have friends who are young and old and even our partners who hate coffee don't have to come on coffee runs with us if they don't want to, and that can be good for all parties, too. Action item: think about the friendships in your life and how you can play to the strengths of each one, rather than expecting one or two people to do everything to make you happy.
