Episode 399: Joyspotting with Alex Elle

New York Times bestselling author (and highly-requested guest!) Alex Elle joins the show to ask how we are playing a role in other people’s lives, setting expectations for what we need from others, and what friendship means at midlife. They discuss her new book, The Company We Keep: Friendship, Connection, and Redefining What It Means to Grow Together, her quick form of journaling, and deepening her understanding of what it means to hold grief and gratitude together.
