Adult Friendships: What it Means to be a Good Friend
A discussion on navigating friendships as an adult and what it means to be a good friend in your 30’s.
Episode Summary
Ava and Najee discuss navigating friendships as an adult and what it means to be a good friend in your 30’s. Spoiler alert: Friendships are difficult and take caps lock WORK.
The hosts discuss how major life events like marriages and kids can impact friendships. Ava’s cool with being Auntie Ava, but thinks it sucks to only see friends twice a year. According to Najee, it’s acceptable to pull back from a friendship for three reasons and three reasons only, and shares how to deal with the feeling of being on the back burner – it’s not personal, or is it?
Meeting new friends as an adult can be tricky, but luckily this duo has found success in meeting friends through shared interests like work, self-development programs, and the internet. Last but not least, they reflect on how they can be better friends, and how others can be better friends to them. Oh, and a special shout-out to the new summer dance anthems courtesy of Beyonce and Drake.
