About this listen

What if the way you think about friendship is quietly sabotaging your connections?

In this eye-opening episode of Friendship Matters, Dr. Russ, Donna, and Lisa explore the hidden mental models—Friendship Frames—that shape how we show up in relationships. From the scarcity mindset that says there’s not enough time or energy for friends, to the perfectionism that paralyzes connection, the hosts shine a light on the beliefs that hold us back from meaningful friendships.

They unpack how frames like independence over interdependence, transactional thinking, and fixed mindsets can erode trust and closeness, and why curiosity and conscious choice are the antidotes. You’ll walk away with a powerful mindset tool (“Pause, Notice, and Choose”) and an invitation to reflect on your own friendship frames.

This episode will challenge how you think—and feel—about friendship. And it just might change the way you connect.
