Friendship in your twenties is messy, complicated, and always changing. In this episode, I’m breaking down what it actually means to be a good friend and how to avoid falling into the trap of being a “shitty” one. I share my own struggles with wondering if I’m a bad friend, what reciprocity looks like, and why communication matters more than constant texting.
