In this episode of How To Twenty-Something, I bring on a guest, Courtney, to expand more on how to make friends in your twenties and what taking the initiative looks like. Together we talk about her personal insights and experiences from when she moved to a new city and didn’t know anyone in a weird post-pandemic time, to having several different friend groups and exemplifying how possible it is to start with nothing and grow your own community. Courtney expresses the importance of making friends, how she began to feel like she had her tribe of people, and even what to do when you’re the middleman of a conflict between mutual friends.

Key Takeaways:

• The importance of creating new friends and maintaining long-distance friendships when entering the working world
• Maturely handling drama amongst friends
• Showing up as your authentic self and accepting others who do the same
• The biggest differences when it comes to making friends in college compared to the adult world
