Dr. Nayla Bahri joins us to discuss friendships – at work, in our lives, and in midlife. We share personal stories and ideas on how to cultivate friendships, including the kinds of friends you need – like an “action” friend. The research referenced highlights the importance of friendships at work for productivity and your likelihood of staying in the job longer. It also underscores the importance of friendships on happiness and longevity. I believe midlife women desire meaningful friendships. Most of us want soulful connections with great women. We discuss the importance of sharing core values and where you might make a new friend, and much more.
While on the show notes page, I’d love for you to join our newsletter. You’ll receive more inspiration and tips to love yourself and live your best midlife. You’ll also get a FREE copy of Michele’s Book, Design a Life You Love (available for a limited time).
