“Am I A Good Friend?” with Grace Valentine | Episode 319
Friendship in adulthood can feel complicated—between busy schedules, big life changes, and just trying to keep up with everything, it’s easy for our closest relationships to take a backseat. But what if being a good friend doesn’t have to be as hard as we think?
In this episode, I’m sitting down with author, speaker, and all-around friendship encourager Grace Valentine to talk about what it really means to show up for the people we love. We dive into practical ways to build strong, lasting friendships, how to navigate seasons of distance, and why vulnerability is the key to deeper connections. Plus, Grace shares her personal experiences with friendship—both the struggles and the joys—and how she’s learned to love people well, even when life gets messy.
If you've ever felt lonely, struggled to maintain friendships, or just want to be more intentional with your people, this conversation is for you!
