Today I am happy to have Erin Falconer. She is the author of the book, How To Break-Up with Your Friends: Finding Meaning, Connection and Boundaries in Modern Friendship, which is focused on creating meaningful connections with friends. One of the things I’ve enjoyed most this past month is girlfriend time. One of my girlfriends hosted a holiday book exchange, I had several 3-hour long lunches with besties, dinners over great meals, and just catch-ups on the phone. All this, along with this interview made me realize how much I have been longing for more girlfriend time. So yes, it’s a declaration I’ve made for 2023.
