Picking Your People: Choosing the Right Friends to Prioritize and Pursue – A Conversation with Nina Badzin

If you had it your way, you’d be open to grabbing coffee or drinks with anyone who asks and, because of that attitude, you’ve probably developed a pretty broad social network. However, this attitude may also leave you feeling overwhelmed, overextended, and confused about who to give your precious time. So, as we bring in the new year, you may be wanting to put some thought into figuring out exactly what friendships to invest in, because it does require work – the texting, planning, coordinating, calling, holding space, showing up - so how do you know what friendships are worth it? In this episode of the Friend Forward podcast, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson is talking to Nina Badzin, author and host of the show, Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship, about how to know who to pursue when you’re being intentional about your friendships. Nina receives so many anonymous letters from listeners each year, so she’s the perfect person to shed some light on this topic. And as always, stay tuned to the end for this week’s homework.  To never miss an episode of the Friend Forward Podcast, click the ‘Follow’ button now.
