Making Friends is Sweet and Sour

from Coffee + Crumbs Podcast · host Ashlee Gadd, Katie Blackburn

For some of us, making friends as kids was challenging. The same can be true now, as adults. But you can turn a sour situation into something downright sweet when you show up as your whole self. Today, we're talking with YIGC contributor Neidy (naydee) Hess who shares about the good, bad, ugly, and beautiful of finding your people. We hope this conversation gives you permission to embrace the awkward, grieve the losses, but also delight in your community. This show is brought to you ad-free by our generous Substack community.
