Author Poorna Bell on the power of withdrawing from one-sided friendships

This week, we’re joined by award-winning journalist and author Poorna Bell to discuss the importance of letting go of one-sided friendships.


We discuss how it can feel daunting when friends’ lives splinter off in different directions, and why it's okay to be selective with your friendships.


We also talk about the myth of finding “the one”, the importance of writing South Asian stories into popular culture, as well as Poorna’s debut novel, In Case of Emergency.


You can also read Poorna's writing at her recently launched Substack, It's As I Was Saying with Poorna Bell https://poornabell.substack.com/


Catch Love Lives on Independent TV and YouTube, as well as all major social and podcast platforms.
