246: Because sometimes you have to be the bad friend first to learn how to be a great one. This week, my beautiful friend (and Unwineding Podcast favorite) Angie Lassman is BACK. Think of this episode as part two of our 'Friendship Playbook' series—this time, we’re diving into the mistakes we’ve made as friends (and humans), and how those moments helped us grow, evolve, and show up better in our friendships. I hope there's something in this episode you needed—let us know what it was. LOVE YOU. x
