In today’s episode we discuss long distance friendships and what we do to navigate ours. As usual there are a few silly ADHD tangents because, obviously. Please Leave a comment about what you do to maintain closeness with your long distance friends!

Today we take a break from the heavy stuff and let our ADHD brains fly!

In todays episode, we dig deep into the “why” of how our friendship was lost. We touch on past traumas and begin to uncover how those experiences shaped our perspectives as well as lead to the actions/inactions we took in our friendship. We tell some funny stories, have some revelations, and keep it real…and as always little ADHD.
