Episode Notes:

Dawn Taylor welcomes Jason Tieri, host of Threads Podcast, to the show to dive into why adult friendships are difficult. From childhood trauma blocking adult connections to a lack of properly communicated expectations, Dawn and Jason break down why adult friends are hard to come by. 

Jason explains how past abuse and a less than ideal childhood may have contributed to his difficulty making friends as an adult, but he also wonders if men find it more challenging to get deep with each other in addition to trading jokes. And what about that ride or die friend? Does everyone find one? 

Dawn and Jason talk about the differences in personalities that make each friendship unique and sometimes uniquely challenging, what it’s like when a friendship breaks down, and the expectations we place on friends. They reveal some truths about what they each want in a friendship and maybe also what they truly need. What do you want in your friendships? And how will you make more? Find out with Dawn and Jason.

Jason is passionate about running, being the best husband and dad that he can be, and growing in all areas of his life.
