Friendship Flowing East and West: The Perfectly Imperfect Journey to a Fulfilled Life

    • Society & Culture

When we figured out we could finally be in the same place at the same time, after 2 years of not being able to connect in person, we decided to ditch the virtual world and record an episode together, in real life.  And what better topic to discuss than Friendship. 
We discuss our own friendship, include the voices of some of our other friends, and some advice from a friendship expert, Shasta Nelson.  
This is a bit of a different episode for us as we didn’t have our fancy recording equipment, and we also decided to do it while hiking (at an altitude of 8,000 feet!).  There are some giggles, a bit of huffing and puffing (luckily we were able to edit out the attack of the mosquitos!)  and a lot of love for each other and this topic.  Just like everything else with this podcast, it is perfectly imperfect.  We hope you enjoy it.  If you do, please make sure to rate us and consider sharing with your friends. 
 
The only way to have a friend is to be one. - Ralph Waldo Emerson 
 
Notes:
 
We reference Shasta Nelson a few times throughout the podcast.  You can find more about her work, and her great books here:

If you are looking to make new friends, one of the best ways we know to meet people is:
https://www.meetup.com/ 
You can also look for interesting groups on:
Facebook
NextDoor
Friender
 
As mentioned, some of the traditional dating sites have a “friends” mode”
Tinder Social
Bumble BFF
