From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya riff on how our friendships change. As kids, we are thrown together at school, and in other ways that mean our friends are an intimate part of our daily lives for most of us. As we get older, and especially as we move on after school, the nature of our friendships can change.

Factors that influence our friendships in adulthood include life stages and tasks (like finding a career or having kids).  We also tend to be so busy that many of us focus on maintaining friends versus specifically making new friends.  And as adults, we are much more likely to have friends in different age groups, which can be an interesting way to learn new things and for some of us, get out of our comfort zone

Thank you for listening.

After much reflection, we have made the difficult decision to shut down Project BFF and the podcast. Our last podcast episode aired on August 23, 2024. We are leaving the podcast live on Buzzsprout through the end of 2024.

We are proud of this podcast and honored to have hosted such amazing and engaging guests.

Our hope is that Project BFF and Friendshipable have inspired you to form new friendships, strengthen existing ones, and encourage others to do the same

Thank you for being a part of our story. The two of us have truly deepened our friendship during this time, and we look forward to new and memorable adventures together in and around New England, which serves as the adopted home for both of us.

With gratitude and friendship,
Manya and Terri
