  • Let's Talk: Friendship with Nina Badzin (and Why You Don't Need a Best Friend)

    Let's Talk: Friendship with Nina Badzin (and Why You Don't Need a Best Friend)
    Mar 3 2026
    In this episode, Nina Badzin, writer and host of Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship podcast, and I talk about how healthy adult friendships and commitment actually work. We explore the concept of open vs. closed friendship markets and what it means when you’re not invited into a long-standing friendship group. How do you handle the emotions? How do you respond with compassion instead of resentment? And how do you stay grounded in your own sense of independence, love and self-worth?We also challenge the myth that you need one “best friend.” Maybe what we need instead are different friendships for different purposes — built on kindness, shared interests, emotional safety, and realistic commitment.This conversation is about friendship, love, relationship dynamics, emotions, compassion, self worth, confidence and commitment in midlife. If you’ve ever felt outside a circle or questioned where you fit, this episode will hit home.A bit about Nina Badzin: DEAR NINA: Conversations About Friendship is a top 1% podcast and newsletter about being a better friend and having better friends.The host, Nina Badzin, a writer who accepted a position as a friendship advice columnist in 2014, never stopped discussing the topic.DEAR NINA, the podcast, started in 2021, and has been referenced in NPR, The Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, Real Simple Magazine, The Skimm, and many other media outlets.-Find Nina Badzin on Instagram, click ⁠here⁠.-Listen to Dear Nina: Conversations about Friendship Nina Badzin's podcast, listen ⁠here⁠.-Go to Nina Badzin's website, click ⁠here⁠.**To read the referenced NYT article by Janice McCabe on Friendship Markets go here.Welcome to Heavens to Betsy!

    Let's Talk Romance: How Romance Novels Can Enhance Your Love Life: Marriage, Passion & Communication - Sarah Wendell, Romance Blogger Advises on Love, Intimacy, Relationships
    Feb 24 2026

    Can reading romance novels actually transform your love life?

    This week I’m joined by Sarah Wendell, founder of Smart Bitches Trashy Books. Let's talk about why romance stories aren’t fluff ; they’re emotional aids for happiness and fulfillment. We explore how romance novels enhance trust, communication, commitment, and the kind of passion that evolves and grows with the relationship.

    We talk honestly about what happens when intimacy fades in your relationships and marriage and the “dead bedroom” no one wants to admit to. How courting, real courting, keeps love alive and is necessary to do for your partner but it's not just with lovers; it's with friends and the people who matter including yourself.

    Romance novels remind us that desire begins with emotional connection. That soulmates connect through trust and communication. That passion is nurtured, not assumed. And that the hearts need attention if we expect them to stay open.

    If you care about love, relationships, marriage, emotions, commitment and keeping passion alive long after the honeymoon phase, this episode will change the way you think about romance, on and off the page. Listen up and read on...
