How to Make Friends As An Adult (It Doesn't Have to Be Hard)

from No More BullShift

Part 2 of our friendship series. Last week we talked about losing friends — this week, we talk about finding them. Because making friends after 40 is nothing like it was in school, and nobody gave us a playbook for this.Marci and I break down the real, practical steps to building new friendships — from showing up at the yoga class to making the bold move of asking someone to coffee. We talk about what to look for, what to watch out for, when to go deep, and when to keep it light. Plus the micro traditions that turn acquaintances into ride-or-dies.If you're sitting at home wondering why it's so hard to find your people — it's not you. It's just harder now. But it's not impossible. Your people are out there. You just have to go find them.📓 JOURNAL PROMPTS:Where do you already show up regularly that could become a friendship incubator?
