In this episode, Barb is joined by popular podcast regular, the insightful, licensed Mental Health counsellor, Jackie Adams, of jackieadamscounseling.com. Barb and Jackie sit down and they both share their expertise on nurturing meaningful friendships as we age.
From keeping connections strong to recognizing when a friendship has naturally run its course, Jackie helps us navigate the delicate balance between holding on and letting go. Tune in for practical advice, heartfelt stories, and guidance on how to honor the friendships that matter most while gracefully releasing the ones that no longer serve us.
