81: The Art of Making Friends & How it Helps Us Declutter
Manage episode 478421276 series 3601641
Does it sometimes feel impossible to make real friends in adulthood? And what does that have to do with paring down our lives?
As a military wife, I have to build a new community for our family every three years. And I've found that not only do friendships help us enjoy life, but they're a big reason it's easier to live a life with less. When we know we can rely on neighbors and friends to lend us things, come to our rescue when needed, and generally be a support system, then we are less tempted to use physical possessions as a form of security.
In today's episode, I walk you through tactics I use to make new friends wherever we move, and dive into the power of different types of relationships using "bridging" and "bonding."
