In this episode of the Joyfully Managed Life podcast, host Jessica Eastman Stewart challenges listeners to try unconventional ways to spend time with friends. Instead of the usual casual meetups over coffee or drinks, she suggests activities such as running errands together, gardening, or starting an article-discussion club. She encourages listeners to pick one idea and execute it in the upcoming week, with a friend. Trying something new with someone familiar creates memorable experiences and strengthens interpersonal bonds. The ultimate goal is to diversify friendships, make them more meaningful, and find joy in everyday experiences. For more fun and unique activity ideas, Jessica refers listeners to an article she shares in the show notes.
