70. How To Be Brave in Creating Deep Friendships and Meaningful Support Circles with Dr. Neeta Bhushan

Do you struggle with friendships? If so, you're not alone. It's one of the most common challenges I hear from people. Life gets so busy that you don't get to spend quality time with those you love. Or you recognize how much you've grown, and the company you keep hasn't. Maybe you're just sick of the status quo, shooting the same old sh*t, gossiping, going to restaurants, and you're looking for ways to connect more meaningfully with others. One of my superpowers is cultivating community and deep friendships. This goes back to when my mom passed away, and I turned to my loved ones to help me get through it. In this unapologetic season of my life, it looks like planning trips and throwing events that WOW people and leave them feeling connected—like when I planned a trip for 16 of my closest friends this summer to Turkey or a few weekends ago celebrating my 40th birthday with my bestie! Whatever season of life you're in, your friends should reflect it. Let's explore how you can create deep friendships and meaningful support circles as a part of your growth and evolution.
