And what can we do to create curiosity instead of negativity?Ann Imig, creator and author of LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER, and life coach at Listen Life Coaching, is here with practical tools that will help keep the judge at bay. Ann encourages "curiosity, celebrating, and savoring" in our friendships, "showing up when you show up," and utilizing the words and mindset of "tell me more."We also discussed the role Ann (indirectly) played in my decision to start writing about friendship in 2014!Meet Ann Imig: Ann is an award-winning founder and speaker with numerous national media and stage appearances.
