Welcome to another friendship roundup!
If you like friendship topics, you’ll enjoy my podcast, Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship
The latest episodes of Dear Nina were about:
- Figuring out the types of friendships you actually enjoy
- Am I the work friend? The real friend? Or the customer?
Have an anonymous question or an episode idea you want to share with me? You can do that here and I will never know it was from you.
Friendship Articles and More
I love doing these friendship roundups! I see so many friendship-related things, either because I find them myself or people send them to me. I’m going to keep sharing them on my site twice a month.
Articles About Friendship I’ve Liked Lately
This story about a group of strangers dealing with days-long flight delays and renting a van instead was really sweet. I hope they stay connected.
As mentioned in episode 42 of my podcast, Dear Nina, the 7-day happiness challenge in the NYT was entirely friendship related.
“How We Learned to be Lonely” by Arthur C. Brooks in The Atlantic
An absolutely stunning Modern Love column about friendship by Karen Paul.
On The Puberty Podcast— “How Many Friends is Enough”
On the Ask Lisa podcast– “My Friends’ Kids are Excluding My Kid: What Should I Do?” (I also covered that back in episode 2 of Dear Nina. Hard one!)
Want to discuss books about friendship?
I started the Dear Nina book club just for that! We will meet 4 to 5 times this year. Each book is a stand alone sign up so no need to commit to more than one at a time. The first one is 2/5/23 at 7:00PM CST to discuss Truth & Beauty by Ann Patchett.
Check it out! It’s on Zoom. All are welcome!
