Re-Air: Ep. 113 - The Power of Friendship

I looked back on the two friends I've lost since I recorded this episode and the ones I've kept. In this episode, I thought about the people I surrounded myself with, what that meant, and the wonderful support I receive. It's interesting to look back and see the toxic people I spent time with and how much my life has changed since then.
