#224 A more practical episode on making friends as an adult

In this episode, I’m sharing more practical reflections on making friends as an adult after a more waffly episode last week. Friendships or the lack of feeling really known can bring up grief, awkwardness, hope, and so much longing. I wanted to offer a few grounded ideas for building connection in ways that feel sustainable, especially if you’re neurodivergent, sensitive, queer, living with disability, or simply navigating a changing season of life.We explore:Doing an honest assessment of what actually makes you feel connectedCreating space to be yourself and to unmask gentlyJoining spaces where you feel welcomed and where your way of relating is understoodSpending time in nature as a relational practice, noticing who is there, watching the seasons, and becoming intimate with the landscapeHosting the spaces you wish existed, online or offlineIf friendship has felt hard lately, I hope this episode leaves you feeling less alone, and more resourced to take one small step toward the kind of companionship you want.You are also welcome to join our weekly sessions, the self-study Grief Glimmers course or my free monthly Spark sessions over at https://griefmagic.com/Love,Yarrow
