Sarah, I listened to Amy Porterfields talk with Mel, as well as Oprah’s on this book. I plan to read. Good to know I can chat with you about it, because I already have a few questions… I agree with you about the friends thing.
I’ve always been hesitant. When I worked for the CW television network I had to attend a party where all the network people and all the stars attended. It was an amazing opportunity, but I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. For as outgoing as I can be, I can also be incredibly shy. 🙈 However, the friends I do make, I tend to keep forever like luggage 😊
Ohh, I will have to check out the Amy Porterfields talk with Mel! You will not be disappointed. There is SO much in this book. Friendship is actually more towards the end. It's one of those books where you think, "Where has this book been all my life?" It's also one you'll want to highlight and come back to. I am like you - always hesitant. I can be outgoing when I have to be but by nature super shy. I so understand what you are saying about networking and work parties . . . I always felt so uncomfortable at those! Like you , the friends I do make I cherish! Let me know when you read The Let Them Theory! I'd love to hear what you thought about it :)
This is pretty fascinating because this is the exact topic of my this week’s Substack! I’m also an introvert and was pushed back from (true) friendships while in a violent relationship in college, key years in friend making. Then it became survival friends. I made some great single parent friendships that are still in my life tangentially. I don’t count socials as friendships. I have level A friends I will die for, and that circle stays small because I invest so much. They do too. If there’s an imbalance, I address that. A circle can change, but not often. Quality over quantity. I’ll check out the book!
Wow! That is crazy this topic was on both our minds! I can’t wait to read it! It’s an important topic for sure. And thank you for checking out the book ❤️ it’s a “time travel murder mystery” but at its heart it’s about trauma and the sacrifices we make for those we love. I hope you enjoy it!

Friends are super important. We all need our tribe.
In spite of being an introvert I seem to connect easily with other people.
I'll check out your Insta 😊
I so agree! Thanks for checking out my Insta - I followed you also on Instagram! :)
