Show Notes
We've all said 'we should get together!' and then... crickets. In this episode, we tackle why making friends as adults feels so challenging and the friendship myths that keep us stuck.
From believing everyone else's life is a constant party (thanks, social media) to thinking we need a massive friend group, we're calling out the lies that sabotage our social lives. We'll explore the three types of friendships - reason, season, and lifetime - and why understanding these categories takes the pressure off building authentic connections.
Whether you're struggling to put yourself out there or wondering if it's normal for friendships to change as you do, this episode offers permission to approach midlife friendships with flexibility and grace. Because the truth is: who you are is enough, and you deserve connections that energize rather than drain you!
