Is Honesty The Best Policy?

Episode 5: Friendship: Finding Your People

In this episode we explore the topic of friendship and finding your people.  We talk about how our own friendship developed, what friendship means, how this is different for everyone, and also how to go about finding your people if you haven’t found them yet.  The main takeaway we took from this episode was how finding your people is deeply routed with being true to yourself. The people who love you the most, will be the ones you are able to be truly you around and don’t judge you for who you are.  App we mention:  https://www.meetup.com
