About this episode
This episode emphasizes the importance of real conversations with friends for maintaining social wellness.
Life gets busy, and somehow the people who matter most to us end up at the bottom of the to-do list. We stay in touch through texts and social media, but something those quick exchanges can't replace is an actual conversation with someone who knows you. This week's invitation is simple: reach out to a friend and schedule a real time to talk. For episode resources, see https://www.tinaboogren.com/.
