We’re convinced we don’t deserve good people and we find every way and every excuse to keep ourselves from finding communities we can enjoy and count on.In this episode, I unpack the realities of friendship in motherhood in this modern world and offer realistic, small, attainable steps to begin creating friendships for yourself and your family.We Cover:- Exploring my personal history in friendship- The gift of isolation- Becoming a good friend- The different types of friendships- Overcoming our differences- When to walk away- How to find friends- The validity of online communitiesResources mentioned:- bewildandfree.orgYour Wild Birth is a reader-supported publication.
