Nothing’s better than friends…

Platonic Romance is a newsletter to celebrate those people in our lives who bring us joy and who help us become more true versions of ourselves. This doesn’t only include “best friends”, but all those varied people who make up a friend-scape, including childhood friends, romantic friends, church friends, summer camp friends, work friends, and a favourite barista or bartender.

Hi, I’m Tanya.

In my friends circles, I’m the one known for having long-term intergenerational friendships. From these older mentor-friends, I learned open communication skills, which I bring into my friendships as well as my other relationships. For five years, I led book club in Toronto, reading over 50 books about sexuality, alternative relationships, communication, and friendship. I’ve also been the featured speaker at three Journey Farthest Out family camps, sharing about community, faith, and my outlook on life.

I’m passionate about elevating friendships to be central relationships in my life. And I’m always working to bring more communication about a friendship into a friendship. I love talking with anyone (friends or not) about friendship, my friends asking for friendship advice prompted this newsletter.

Let’s be friends!
