Creating Adult Friendships with Xena Jones

How to ask other adults, "Do you want to be my friend?" without feeling creepy. Many folks in midlife start to notice that their life circumstances change rapidly. As their children leave the house, they also notice that their relationships, in general, are also changing at the same time. Some of us realize that we have more time on our hands, or that the friendships that we cultivated with other parents aren't fully meeting our needs.  We want more meaningful relationships in our lives - ones that support the same positive habits that we're trying to cultivate ourselves. My guest on this episode of the Done with Dieting Podcast recently went on a "Friendsperiment" where she actively went out and made new friends as an adult. When I learned about it, I had to have her on the show so that she could share her insight with you and help you feel more connection and belonging in your life. Tune in to this episode so that you can create your own friendsperiment.
