Girls Night #266: The Power of Friendship: Why It Matters in Every Stage of Life — with Dr. Marisa G. Franco

Girls Night with Stephanie May Wilson

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

Okay, friends, today’s episode is going to look a little different than usual! While getting settled in Spain these past few weeks, I haven’t had as much time to record new Girls Night episodes, although that will be changing VERY soon now that I have my little podcast studio set up in our apartment!

In the meantime, over the next few weeks, I thought this would be a great time to pull some of our favorite episodes out of the Girls Night archive. This is the perfect time to catch up on episodes you might have missed, or listen again to old favorites.

Today, we’re revisiting a conversation I had with the incredible Dr. Marisa G. Franco where we talked about making and keeping friendships!

Marisa wrote a book called, Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make--and Keep--Friends. Marisa is a brilliant psychologist, international speaker, and New York Times bestselling author. She is known for digesting and communicating the science of human connection in ways that resonate deeply enough with people to change their lives.

Here are just a few of the things she’s going to teach us in the episode:

• Why friendship is essential no matter what stage of life you’re in

• How to not only make new friendships but also keep our friendships

• What an attachment style is and how we can figure out what ours is

• How to make new friends as an adult and improve the quality of our friendships

• And so much more!

If you’ve been desiring deeper connections in your friendships, you’re in the right place. Marisa seriously has an abundance of knowledge to share with us on this topic – I can’t wait for you to hear from her!
