how to actually make friends as an adult

Making friends as an adult can feel intimidating, but what if it’s not as hard as we think? In this episode, I dive into the art of building real friendships—not just meeting people, but actually forming meaningful connections. Inspired by last week’s episode on meeting people “in the wild,” this conversation is a reminder that social connection isn’t just about dating—friendship matters, too. I break down: - Why finding friends should be just as important as finding a date - How to put yourself out there and make the first move - The power of vulnerability, boundaries, and authenticity in friendships - What it really means to be a good friend and attract the right people - How to heal from past friendship disappointments and show up better If you’ve ever felt like making friends as an adult is *hard*, this episode is for you. The truth? People want to connect just as much as you do—you just have to make the first move.
