What Type of Friend Am I?

BL NK P ges (The Podcast)

In this episode, Tim discusses the importance of being a good friend. He encourages listeners to reflect on the type of friend they are and how they show up for others. Tim poses four questions for self-reflection: Can they tell you good things? Can they tell you bad things? Can they tell you about their dark places? Will you show up for them?
