298 How to Make and Keep Friends with Dr. Marisa G. Franco

The Well Woman Show

This week, I interview Dr. Marisa G Franco. She's an enlightening psychologist and national speaker, Dr. Franco is known for digesting and communicating science in ways that resonate deeply enough with people to change their lives. She works as a professor at The University of Maryland, and she's the author of the NY Times best-selling book Platonic: How The Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends. She writes about friendship for Psychology Today and has been a featured connection expert for major publications like The New York Times, The Telegraph, and Vice. She speaks on belonging at corporations, government agencies, non-profits, and universities across the country.

We discuss:

• Why friendships don't just happen organically
• Beating your personal fear of rejection.
• Why belonging is at the root of a real friendship.

But first, I want to tell you about an upcoming women's summit I'll be co-hosting. It's the Fall Women's Summit on Oct 27, 2022, from 8:00 AM - 11:30 AM in Albuquerque

First, we will hear a keynote address from Jen Paul Schroer, Cabinet Secretary for the NM Department of Tourism.

Then I will share the Well Woman Life® Framework - a combined strategic and "heart centered" approach to leadership. Aspiring women leaders as well as seasoned pros can use this to identify their challenges and discover tools to overcome them.
