BYOK Two Cents 59 w/ Mommy: What Type of Friend Are You?

The topic of Friendship tends to become more defined and specific the older we become. Let's be honest: life has a way to re-tailoring expectations and/or who fit in our life. Distance doesn't always mean bad, whereas closeness does not always mean good.


In this episode, Mom and I will discuss balancing friendships and the general definition of friendship.
