About the Episode
Friendship is a verb. It requires action. Friendship requires honesty, accountability, and action. This world is too crazy to walk through alone. So if you’re trying to disrupt for the greater good, you’re gonna need this backup.

People tend to throw the term friendship around frivolously, but not Luvvie. In this solo episode, I’m expanding on a conversation I started on Glennon Doyleโs podcast and discusses the critical role friends play in our lives. I’m sharing my definition of what it means to be a friend and the weight that word carries for me and how to end a friendship in a grace-filled way. I’m also answering questions submitted by the pod squad and I’m tackling the question of whether Black women and white women can be friends.
I hope as a result of listening to this episode, you reach out to a friend who matters to you. Investing in your relationships is something that will keep rewarding you for the rest of your life. So be the friend that you would like to have.
Friendship means that person is a charging station for me
in a world that’s constantly draining my batteries.
