#188 - Take an Honest Look at Your Friendship Patterns (Roxanne Francis)
About this episode
Nina Badzin discusses with Roxanne Francis how to identify and address recurring friendship issues and patterns.
Many friendship struggles are normal—but what if the same problems keep repeating? In this episode, I talk with psychotherapist and social worker Roxanne Francis about how to recognize when repeated friendship breakups, difficulty making connections, or confusion about boundaries may point to deeper patterns. We also discuss ghosting, online friendships, and why taking an honest look at our own patterns can help us build healthier relationships. Special thank you, as always, to my assistant producer, Rebekah Jacobs!
