1) In my 16 years experience as a Therapist, Transformational Coach, Emotional Intelligence Practitioner, and a spiritual leader, I have observed that we underestimate the symbiosis between friendship and mental health.

Deep conversations & real friendships are eroding and I can categorically tell you that life is harder without covenant friends. Friends who nurture you back to sanity. Friends who give life.
