I am surrounded by friends that I love dearly and enjoy having life-giving conversations with. Creating an opportunity to sit with these friends and talk about the joys of life and how we are not just making it through life, but leaning into it, is something I’m really excited about. No one can have 52 close friends, and what really even determines what makes someone a close friend? Through this podcast and these conversations, I look to find a deeper meaning of close friends and how we might all be a little more fond of each other than we had ever even realized.
