Our friendships are precious, but they can also be crowded out by the intensity of work, family, and stress. The good news? The first step toward reversing that dynamic is simply to notice it, and friendships can be nurtured through small doses of time and attention. In Episode 139 of Edit Your Life, Asha and I reflect upon friendship, how it has changed as our kids have gotten older, and share 8 crowdsourced ways to treasure and celebrate your friends.
