Making friends is hard. Making friends as an adult can be harder. Making friends when you spend most of your workdays in an office with just your boss is nearly impossible. Friends From Work is about the trials of making friends as a "grown-up", where exactly we make friends and how we maintain those friendships while we navigate the complexities of adulthood. We'll also be talking about what it's like working with friends, turning a work friendship into real friendship, and how when we support each other in competitive industries "a rising tide lifts all ships" (or friend-SHIPs, eh?)

Ep. 10: Season 1 Wrap Up!

Ep. 09: What Goes Around Comes Around
An insightful email from a friend of the pod has us wondering: Is the often shared experience amongst co-workers of "hating on the boss" (or gossip in general) poison to a work friendship? Is the relationship tainted because it's stemmed from negativity? Or do all people in the workplace simply need a space to vent?

Candy For Your Ears
These gals are so fun to listen to! They're funny, have vast interests, and are good story tellers. As a young professional, it's nice to hear about the struggles & successes of other people who have been in my shoes. There's plenty of pop culture references & real talk, a perfect balance. Thank you for making me feel less alone!
So fun!

An awesome conversational podcast that reflects upon the ups and downs of making friends as adults, by two hosts you can not only relate to, but also feel like you're hanging out with! Great listen!
