Sometimes our minds wander to a dark place. In today’s episode, we talk all about this experience: what we tend to think about, situations or circumstances that might lead to this, how it feels, how we take care of ourselves in such moments, and how we get out of the dark place. We talk about the power of naming our dark moments, as well as the dangers of living with too much of this.

In this episode, we revisit the topic of adult connection and the importance of adult friendships. We review the mental health benefits of social connection (hint: it’s more important than diet and exercise for longevity!). We talk about the advantage of the friend role as compared to other roles. We also discuss what it takes to be a “good friend” and what to do if a friendship becomes unhealthy. Lastly, we provide some advice for deepening friendships.
