“Desperation and bad decisions go hand and hand.” Have you ever experienced loneliness and, as a way to decrease those feelings, you would be friends with just about anyone? This quote, then, demonstrates that we may participate in questionable behaviors when trying to make friends. We’ve all felt lonely and have been in situations when we are desperate to make friends, but, unfortunately, desperation isn’t helpful in making connections with others. Join Alysa as she talks about loneliness and desperation, and how to go about making friends in a more effective, especially when you feel lonely. Share Your Friendship Stories with Alysa!

They’re never just pets or just animals. They’re our companions, confidantes, therapists, and our best friends. In this episode, Alysa, along with her parents, friends, and listeners, explores the idea that our furry friends are, in fact, friends. If you’re a pet owner or hoping to become one soon, this episode will remind you of all the wonderful benefits animals provide us humans and why we simply don’t deserve them in our lives. It’s the purrfect way to spend time with your best fur-evers to settle in, have a listen, and get ready to bark with laughter. Share Your Friendship Stories with Alysa!
