When Friends Test Your Boundaries: Be Considerate When Asking Friends to Do You Major Favors

Not long ago, my friend and colleague Jill told me about a personal experience she had in which a close friend of hers asked her to do a giant favor for her: spend a day cleaning out the contents of her garage and then move the contents to another garage. Isn't moving about one of the more awful experiences a person can go through?! Of course, I knew immediately that this kind of experience is one that so many people have and that others could benefit from our discussion about when it's okay to ask a friend for a favor -- and when it's not.

I interviewed her for my new episode of my podcast, Psyched! with Dr. Seth, which will come out on Tuesday. The podcast is all about us figuring out how to improve our lives: our relationships, our mindset and our circumstances! You can catch my podcast Psyched! with Dr. Seth on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, I Heart Podcasts, and more.
