Episode 7. "Why it's so hard to make friends after 40"

from What You Took Back Podcast · host Skye Underhill

Episode 7. Skye navigates life after 40, and how it’s easy to feel adrift in our friendships. We have our lifelong pals, sure, but what about those new connections that can spark joy and understanding?  Here’s the thing: the gap where new friends should be can feel vast. It’s not because we’re broken or anti-social; it’s a structural issue. We grew up in a friendship model built on forced closeness through school or work. Now, as adults, that model has faded, leaving many of us feeling isolated.  If you’ve struggled to make new friends, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it! Embrace the idea that it’s okay to seek out friends who resonate with who you are today, not who you used to be.
