Friendships are hard, particularly as adults. Many of us believe that the quality of our life is based on the number of people we can count on as friends. The more friends we have, the better off we are.So when we go through a friendship breakup, it's hard to understand that it’s not necessarily about the type of person we are, or the kind of life we live, but rather a part of any relationship and personal growth.To dive deeper into the world of friendships, I had the honour to speak with my good friend, Dr. Miriam Kirmayer. We spoke about: 

How we relate friendships to success

How can friendships change?

What are changes appearing in our friendships through COVID

How can we support our friendships through change

How to give you friend feedback

How to decide when you need to let go of a friendship

Ways you can choose to end a friendship

How do you mourn the loss of a friend and why do they hurt so badly?
