17. Preventative Care for Loneliness

Meet Brittany. Brittany is my lovely client from the 2nd cohort of the Making Friends group program.

She shares many profound perspectives on friendship in this interview, and my favorite highlight is that working on your friendships now is preventative care.

"Like you're not going to wait till you're older to build like strong bone density. Like when you're like 40, like it's too, it's not that it's too late, but it's a lot harder to like build bone density when you're already at that age, right? So start now. It's going to be worth it. It's like an investment in your future as well because friendships take time to grow." - Brittany
