Description
DEAR NINA features honest conversations about the ups and downs of friendship.
Why didn't your friend text you back? Why didn't your friend include you in her birthday dinner? It's because she's mad at you. Kidding, she's probably not. But maybe she is? See what I mean! Friendship is tricky, even for grownups. I'm your host, Nina Badzin. Since 2014 I've been fostering discussions about the nitty gritty of adult friendships with sensitivity and practicality in my advice column. The podcast has been referenced in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Minneapolis Star Tribune, Seatte Times, and elsewhere. I've welcomed guests such as Gretchen Rubin, Dr. Lisa Damour, Zibby Owens, Jo Piazza, Dr. Marisa Franco and many more. Leave an anonymous question at ninabadzin.com/dearnina, and I might answer it along with a guest on the show.
