Are you in a transitional period in your life and ready to take a serious friendship inventory? We strongly suggest this activity to experience genuine "aha" moments about what needs to shift in your friendship landscape.

What is social health, and how can you improve it? Today we're speaking with Harvard-trained social scientist Kasley Killam who's been studying social health for ten years. Her new book, The Art and Science of Connection, is the world's first book on social health, and we're going to get clear on why this is an actual domain of our overall health.

Spoiler: It can't be solved by just talking to your bestie once a week. It's much deeper than that.

This week we talk to Ali, a young woman whose social media video went viral-- and shortly afterwards, there was a falling out. Listen as we interview her to learn what inspired the video, and what happened after it began to circulate online. We'll end the episode with a takeaway for women who are conflict averse people-pleasers, because there's a lot that they can learn from Ali's experience.
