Friends are some of the most important people in our lives, but we don’t always cultivate these relationships in the same way we do for family and romance! Psychotherapist and Author, Erin Falconer, stops by to talk about making new friends, auditing your current relationships, and how to break up with friends. She gives the Secret Squad a roadmap of how to approach uncomfortable conversations within your friendships… she even gives you sample scripts to use!
