Secrets For A Long-Lasting LDR Friendship

Conversations Brewing Podcast

In a recent poll that Divya did, we found out that almost everyone has at least ONE long-distance friend. With so many of us not having friends near us in proximity - why the heck don’t we talk more about these types of friendships, and how difficult they are?!?

In this episode, Divya and Ravisha dive into understanding your wants + needs so you can understand your friends, how to stop playing the ‘assumption game’, and share the self-work they’ve done that have helped them show up even better as friends.

The two of them have over 15 years of navigating reciprocity, how to show up, and tune into themselves. They discuss how their friendship has progressed over the decades and how their own self-work (thank you therapy!) has guided them in their communication and advocating for their needs as they venture long-distance friendships in adulthood.

Some topics the two of them dive into…

• Identifying communication strategies + differences between personal communication patterns
• Intentionality and how to show up in relationships (during different stages of life)
• Navigating expectations + how to identify unrealistic expectations
• Therapy insights (“I statements”, needs advocacy, unhelpful thought patterns, managing tough emotions aka. fomo/jealousy)
