About this listen

In this heartfelt episode of Eden’s Table, Leslie, Marianne, and Angie—therapists at Eden Therapy Co.—invite you to join a candid conversation about the vital role of friendships in our mental health and faith journeys. Broadcasting from Miami, the trio explores how relationships shape our well-being, the challenges of outgrowing friendships, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries.

Key topics include:

  • Why friendships are essential for mental health and spiritual growth
  • Navigating the loss or transition of close friends
  • The myth of one friend meeting all your needs
  • How faith and community intersect in building meaningful relationships
  • Setting boundaries and communicating through differences
  • Tools for evaluating the quality and purpose of your friendships
  • The “levels of access” model for understanding your social circles

With personal stories, practical advice, and a touch of humor (including a SpongeBob singalong!), this episode encourages listeners to reflect on their own friendships, invest in their support systems, and remember that freedom and connection are always possible.

Don’t forget to check up on your besties, and join us next time at Eden’s Table—where you can always sit with us.
