Episode description

Friendships are hard. Add in distance and they can get even harder at times. But long distance friendships seem like a fact of life in our 20s as people scatter for school, work, travel, and just because they want to. Whilst it's said that some 50% of these relationships fail, I want to give you the tools to help your long distance friendships succeed. In this episode we discuss: 

• The psychological challenges of long distance friendships
• How friendship is influenced by proximity and convenience 
• My 4 ingredient friendship formula 
• The BEST practical tips for maintaining connection 
• What to do when the friendship feels over 

Hope you enjoy, and make sure you send to your long distance pal!
