Messy, beautiful friendship: An episode from the Flourish podcast

By Christine Hoover

Based on her recently released book, Messy, Beautiful Friendship, Christine Hoover unpacks realities about friendships that women rarely discuss. On the surface, friendships appear to be innate, easy and natural for most women, but the truth is, they’re complicated. As the title suggests, friendship is “messy” and does require more intentionality and effort than we discuss.
