Amy is chatting with Blake Blankenbecler, psychodynamic therapist by day and friendship expert by night! They discuss the different dynamics of a friendship, including how to approach conflict resolution, how to evaluate the friendship’s impact on you, as well as giving yourself grace when you drop the ball (there is no perfect friend!) and they close out with '4 Things Gratitude' (journals linked in case you want to try practicing gratitude at home!)
Friendship Fact: The average friendship lasts 7 years and we typically have 5 close meaningful relationships at any given time. These friendships have the biggest indicators on our health.
Ever wonder how to re-initiate conversation with an old friend you haven't talked with in a while? Blake shares the best way to reach out to a long-lost friend with courage and transparency. Amy even shares her experience with rekindling an old friendship with a college roommate!
How do we approach conflict resolution with a friend? “Don’t be afraid to lean in and ask the hard questions! Be brave!”
Blake has some expert advice to help us determine whether or not we should continue to nourish a friendship or if it’s time to let it go. Listen to your body! Here are some questions you can ask yourself:
How do you feel BEFORE hanging out with this friend?
How do you feel DURING hanging out with this friend?
How do you feel AFTER hanging out with this friend?

In this episode of In The Vet’s Office, board-certified veterinary nutritionist Dr. Valerie Parker joins Dr. Josie for an in-depth conversation about what to feed your pets. They tackle the hot topics – grain free diets, prescription diets, and the biggest mistakes pet parents are making on the pet food aisle. They also discuss whether a homemade/raw diet is better than traditional kibble – you may be surprised at the answer! Dr. Josie debunks the myth that veterinarians get kickbacks to sell you specific food brands. In the intro to the interview, Dr. Josie shares her "Case of the Week" – a man who brought his dog in for having ‘cancerous bumps’ all over its belly which turned out to be something ENTIRELY different. After the interview, Dr. Josie and Shannon wrap up the episode with PAW & ORDER where Dr. Josie details things she’d never do with her own pets including NOT getting your dog’s anal glands expressed unless they truly need it!
