What starts as a safe place to hide becomes something neither of them can deny.

About the Book

From the Business Bestie who understands your career ambitions to the Old Friend who knows your history, this book helps you recognize the value in different kinds of relationships and shows you how to nurture each one intentionally.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the Life Council concept?
The Life Council is a framework that identifies ten different types of friends every woman needs—like the Daily Duty Friend, the Fellow Obsessive, and the Yes Friend. Instead of expecting one person to fulfill all your friendship needs, you build a diverse council of people who each play a unique role in supporting your life.

Not at all. This book is for any woman who wants to be more intentional about her friendships, whether you’re building a new social circle, maintaining long-distance friendships, or simply want to deepen the connections you already have. It’s about quality and intentionality, not loneliness.

Q: How does Laura Tremaine define the different types of friends?
Tremaine breaks down friendships into ten categories based on what each friend brings to your life—from practical support to emotional understanding to shared interests. Each chapter explores one friendship type with real examples, helping you identify who fills these roles in your current life and where you might need to invest more.

Q: Can this book help with maintaining adult friendships when life gets busy?
Yes. The Life Council addresses the unique challenges of adult friendship—busy schedules, competing priorities, and geographic distance. It offers practical strategies for staying connected without overwhelming yourself, and helps you focus your energy on relationships that truly matter.

Q: Do I need to have all ten types of friends right now?
No. The book isn’t about checking boxes or creating pressure. It’s a framework to help you understand the different roles friends can play and to recognize where you might want to invest more intentionally. Some friends may fill multiple roles, and your council will naturally evolve over time.
