    We want to hear from you! Share your own experiences with friendship and loneliness on our private facebook community: facebook.com/groups/kristenandjolenta or write to us at kristenandjolenta@gmail.com

    We're back! And we're here to make friends!

    Kristen and Jolenta are back with a whole new season of How to Be Fine dedicated to the topics of friendship and loneliness in the modern age. Along the way, they'll talk with esteemed experts. But even better: They'll put different friend-making methods to the test, acting as guinea pigs in their own social experiments. Join them as they laugh, learn, and awkwardly attempt to make new friends and deepen the friendships they already have.
