  • Anatomy of Friendship: Platonic Intimacy.
    Dec 17 2024

    A couple of weeks ago, I talked about The Friend Breakup and it sparked a lot of conversation. There are literally over a thousand comments beneath my various social media posts, and I have since received hundreds of DMs from people wanting to share their story.

    In sum, the discussion struck a nerve and I concluded that this topic merited further consideration. I thus asked my friend, Nabiha, to join me for a chat on the Anatomy of Friendship.

    Share your thoughts on the episode webpage here.
