19. How to Keep Long Distance Friendships Close ft. Anna Mendiola

The post-grad years often bring major shifts in relationships, with distance being one of the biggest challenges. It can be difficult to reshape how we connect with loved ones through miles of separation, but the fight is always worth it for the right people. In this episode of Transplants, I have a candid conversation with one of my long distance besties, video editor Anna Mendiola, to give you advice on how to navigate distance in friendships as a new adult. In addition to hearing about our awkward first meeting, you’ll learn:

✔️ How to navigate change in friendships, together

✔️ What real friendship looks like

✔️ Ways to maintain long distance friendships
