Welcome back to the Cup of Courage podcast. Today's episode is all about friendship. I invited a very special friend of mine on the podcast today to answer all the questions around friendship including:

1.) How our friendships have evolved from our teens & twenties to today.
2.) What it means to be a friend?
3.) Why we need friendships?

If you want to read even more about friendships, I recommend Amy Weatherly & Jess Johnston's book called "I'll be there, but I'll be wearing sweatpants. According to Jeffery Hall, a communications professor, found that it takes 94 hours to make a casual friend? 164 hours to become a friend and over 200 hours to become a close friend. Leisurely time spent together is especially important. In the book Jess states "we can have 1 billion people admire us but that will never feel the same as having even just one person truly love us." We deeply need friendships in our lives in fact there was this study done about the power of friendships and the truth is that friendship is the best predictor of happiness and health in life. This becomes especially true the older we get. They found that investing in friendships that make us happy can improve your overall health.
