The Korean Vegan with Joanne Molinaro

Anatomy of Friendship: Platonic Intimacy.

The Korean Vegan with Joanne Molinaro

Show Notes

A couple of weeks ago, I talked about The Friend Breakup and it sparked a lot of conversation. There are literally over a thousand comments beneath my various social media posts, and I have since received hundreds of DMs from people wanting to share their story.

In sum, the discussion struck a nerve and I concluded that this topic merited further consideration. I thus asked my friend, Nabiha, to join me for a chat on the Anatomy of Friendship.
