The art of the "platonic wingwoman": Helping your friends make friends (Solo episode)

Platonic wingwomen are the backbone of society.

Some people are reluctant to introduce their friends to one another, but society thrives on it. While it can be nerve-wracking to mix friend groups (we've covered this in a previous episode-- see below), it's a skill we should all have.

In this episode, Danielle shares 4 steps to becoming a charismatic and effective wingwoman for your friends.
