63: Talking friendship with Shasta Nelson

Friendshipable

From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya chatted with friendship expert Shasta Nelson on all things friendship.
We had so much fun talking about how friends support us, why it matters that we build healthy relationships, and how friendship is a necessity, not just a nice to have for our health and happiness (there is a study that shows that 70% of our happiness comes from our relationships).
It is common to struggle with friendships, not everyone had these kinds of relationships modeled for them, but it is something we all deserve and a skill we can all learn.
Shasta Nelson, a friendship expert, is a leading voice on loneliness and creating healthy relationships. Whether she’s speaking at conferences or on TEDx stages, giving media interviews to outlets such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, or appearing as a guest on The Harvard Business Review podcast or The Steve Harvey Show, she is constantly teaching all of us how to create healthier and more fulfilling relationships in our lives.
