    The Keys to a Lifelong Friendship

    In today’s episode,Kristin chats with her mother, Beverly Mitchell, and god-mother, Adrainne Thompson, on the keys to a lasting friendship. Adrainne and Beverly became best friends in college and have grown and sustained a healthy friendship that’s now going on 40 years. And like any relationship, their friendship has experienced some epic highs and some nasty lows, but they’ve learned what it takes to support a healthy friendship and have ensured they stay dedicated to it...contracts and all. Beverly is a supervisor for Child Protective Services, an amazing vocalist at her church and in a gospel recording group, a DIY-savvy lady who loves making updates to her home and spending quality time outside on her deck. Adrainne is the owner of Priceless Thrift, a store with discounted clothing and household supplies to support disadvantaged families with rent and utility support, clothing for job interviews, and workshops on self sufficiency and job readiness skills. She’s also a writer and poet and has authored several books on love, relationships, and the adventures that life brings. In this episode, the ladies share the story of their friendship over the years, and give their perspectives on the ins and outs of friendship–like having tiers, navigating rough patches and reconciling after disagreements, and the ideal number of friends one should have. Beverly’s mantra: I am only responsible and accountable for what I do. I let the other stuff go. Grown folk gonna do what grown folk wanna do. Adrainne’s mantra: Never underestimate the power of God's love, a hug, and a smile. We wanna hear from you. How are you prioritizing your social/communal wellness?
