Friendship Audit: Part 2

Making friends as an adult feels weird... and somehow nobody warns you about it. One day you're surrounded by classmates, coworkers, roommates, and spontaneous plans. Then suddenly you're juggling careers, kids, relationships, aging parents, and a calendar that somehow still has no room for meaningful connection. In this follow-up to one of our most popular episodes, Friendship Audit, we're taking a deeper look at why so many women feel lonely, disconnected, or like they're the only ones struggling to find "their people." In this episode, we talk about: • The surprising statistics behind loneliness and adult friendship • Why making friends in your 30s, 40s, and 50s can feel so much harder than it used to • How motherhood, divorce, career changes, and big life transitions impact connection • We also answer questions about making new friends, healing from friendship hurt, and finding deeper relationships • Practical places to meet people, from Meetup groups to local classes and community organizations • Small, realistic ways to build meaningful friendships, even if you're busy and overwhelmed If you've ever looked around and wondered, "Why does everyone else seem to have their people except me?" this episode is for you. You're not behind. You're not awkward. And you're definitely not alone. Grab your coffee, take us on your walk, and let's have an honest conversation about finding connection in adulthood. Because sometimes one text, one conversation, or one brave "yes" can change everything.
