#211 - You Don’t Have to Be Fully Secure to Have Good Friendships (Dr. Marisa G. Franco)

Dr. Marisa G. Franco returns to talk about her new book, Worth, and how self-worth shapes the way we experience friendship. We discuss why old rejection can follow us into new relationships, how insecurity can affect reciprocity and reassurance, and why our assumptions about what friends think of us aren’t always accurate. Marisa also explains why the goal isn’t to become perfectly secure—it’s to become “secure-ish.”

Special thank you, as always, to my assistant producer, Rebekah Jacobs!
