Tim is back! And both he and Barb explore the ever-evolving world of friendships just a bit further. Part 2 and a continuation of our Season 10 finale, they dig a bit deeper on the rise of online connections to the complexities of sibling relationships and the uncomfortable reality of friendship break-ups. This conversation dives deep into what it means to build, maintain, and sometimes let go of the people in our lives.

Tim shares his unique insights on how technology has reshaped the way we form friendships, offering both opportunities and challenges. Together, Barb and Tim discuss the nuances of online friendships—can they be as meaningful as in-person connections? They also tackle the often-overlooked dynamic of sibling friendships.

Finally, they don’t shy away from the awkward truth: sometimes friendships end. Whether it’s a slow fade or a dramatic break-up, Barb and Tim offer thoughtful advice on how to navigate these difficult moments with grace and self-awareness.
