Dear Nina

Dear Nina

by

DEAR NINA features honest conversations about the ups and downs of friendship.
Why isn’t your friend texting you back? Why didn’t your friend include you in her birthday trip? It’s because she’s mad at you. Just kidding, she’s probably not. But maybe she is? See what I mean! Friendship is tricky, even for grownups.

I’m your host, Nina Badzin. Since 2014, I’ve been fostering discussions about the nitty gritty of adult friendships with sensitivity and practicality in my advice column. Leave an anonymous question at ninabadzin.com/dearnina, and I might answer it along with a guest on the show.
