Description

Why does jealousy sometimes creep into our friendships? How can we recognize when a slow drift is turning into a silent goodbye? And how can we strengthen communication and emotional connection with our friends? We speak with Lia Love Avellino, LCSW, modern love therapist and founder of Spoke Circles in Brooklyn, about the outside pressures friendships face, the importance of renegotiating connection, breaking the jealousy-shame cycle, and clarifying our needs in supportive, mutual ways. Friendships are vital to emotional wellness, so tune in to learn how to better check in with your friends and yourself.
