Let's Have Tea

In this episode, Morayo and I discuss what it takes to build great friendships. People say it gets more difficult to make new friends as we age. But making friends becomes a survival skill if you move around a lot. In Canada, I have found that Canadians stick with the same friends they've had since university or high school so as a newcomer, it is difficult to break into those groups. Nonetheless, there are lots of tips for making friends in this video and also tips on how to keep your friends. We also discuss how to confront a friend who has hurt you and signs a friend might be jealous of you.

What do you wish someone told you when you were graduating from university? In this episode, I share my thoughts.

I grew up highly religious. Now, I am less religious and more accepting. Without knowing it, a stoic approach to life changed my life.
