Why Is It So Hard to Make Friends as an Adult? 4 Reasons We Struggle with Friendship

Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult? You’re not alone in wondering! In this episode, host Cecelia Curtis, a Christian friendship coach, wife, boy mom, and all-around friendship encourager, breaks down four key reasons adult friendships can feel so complicated — and what to do about it.

Cecelia shares why making and keeping friends as grown women requires more intentionality than ever before, exploring topics like:

Fewer natural opportunities to meet new people once school and early life routines end.

Time constraints — because careers, kids, and commitments leave little space for connection.
Greater selectivity — how knowing yourself better can sometimes make friendship harder.
Fear of vulnerability — why opening up feels risky, but it’s the key to meaningful connection.

This heartfelt, faith-filled episode reminds you that if you’re struggling to make or keep friends, you’re not the only one. Adult friendship isn’t impossible — it just takes intention, patience, and a little courage.

👉 Tune in to learn practical friendship advice, faith-based encouragement, and real talk about what’s holding many women back from the friendships they truly want.
