Over the Fence

There is no denying that the quest for connection and belonging is strong and ongoing. When we were young, it seemed that friendships simply happened around us, but in this tricky decade, friendships often seem more to allude than abound.

This episode seeks to explore questions we have grappled with: 

  • Why are friendships at this age so difficult? 
  • Is it that what we need in friendships is different or that what we can sustain is different?  

We also explore what changes may have contributed to complexity of something that once seemed so simple.

Don’t worry there is still the tom foolery and high jinks we know you expect from us! We kick off with some light relief as we attempt a friendship quiz, live!!!! If you thought quick fire was hilarious you are in for a treat!
