Lori Gottlieb likes stories. It’s the reason she pivoted from the film industry to therapy—so she could work more intimately helping people through their real problems. As a New York Times bestselling author and writer of The Atlantic advice column "Dear Therapist," she’s explored a plethora of topics we’re deeply interested in and can relate to. So many in fact, we had to narrow it down to one: friendships. Specifically, how to navigate them and the toxic friend. It’s something we deal with at every age since friendships exist as ever-changing. It can be the greyest of zones and trickier to handle than a romantic relationship. Lori gives us utterly sound advice and we hope this acts as further encouragement to start your year off on a positive note.Mentioned in this episode:Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori GottliebSponsors:Go to tryarmra.com/LIPSTICK or enter LIPSTICK to get 15% off your first order. Visit shophart.com and use code LIPSTICK10 at checkout for 10% off your first purchase and free shipping over $100.Go to diviofficial.com/LIPSTICK or enter LIPSTICK at checkout for 20% off your first order.Go to beistravel.com/LIPSTICK for 15% off your first purchase.
