#51 - How to Recognize a Toxic Friendship with Michelle Anderson and Lauren Massarella

First thing to know, not all friendships with issues are "toxic." I'm not sure there's a more overused word on the internet. That said, it's something we need to discuss on a friendship podcast. Recognizing a toxic friendship and what to do about it sounds like a serious thing to discuss. And it is! But my two guests are so fun and delightful that you could almost forget how unhappy these kinds of friendships can make people. Get ready for a lot of Midwestern accents on this episode, starting with mine. Then add Michelle Anderson and Lauren Massarella from The Sister Project, and you have a spirited, helpful, personal episode of Dear Nina.About The Sister Project Podcast:Hosted by the founders of The Sister Project blog, Midwest sisters and wellness lifestyle enthusiasts, Michelle Anderson and Lauren Massarella, deliver a conversational style podcast that makes the listener feel as though they are part of an intimate sisterhood inner circle.
