Should I Delete That?

Is this a friendship break up? with Michelle Elman

Should I Delete That?

Show Notes

Today, we’re continuing our exploration of friendship with the brilliant Michelle Elman.

We spoke to Michelle about how friendship is not taken seriously - and female friendships in particular are trivialised. Michelle gave us practical advice on how to operate in a world where the odds feel stacked against our friendships - where they seemingly have to battle with social media, our adult responsibilities and our romantic relationships.

Our conversation covers everything from confrontation to ghosting - so if you feel like you need help being a better friend, or if you want to navigate a friendship break up - this is the episode for you.
