Listen in to our first caller Cameron, who fears the difficulties of having to find a new group to spend time with since his previous friends have shut him out. Nancy advises Cameron to reach out to one of his former friends to get an understanding of why they no longer communicate and use that knowledge to connect with others.

Our second caller is Emily, a recent college graduate who moved back home. Emily is struggling with how to respectfully communicate with her parents about maintaining independence. Nancy instructs Emily to come up with a manageable way to contribute to her parents.
