Quote from the conversation

It’s very important to cultivate friendships, to nurture friendships but you can’t force friendships…they have to be organic after a point in time.


We discuss
1. What makes relationships work

2. How to build and maintain long-lasting friendships

3. What gardening means to Teena and how she derives joy from it 

4. What Teena follows to destress and bring more calm into her life
