We’ve talked about how essential making friends in midlife is—but now we’re going to tackle the how. Because let’s be honest, knowing friendship matters and actually striking up a conversation with someone new? Two totally different things. We want to make it easier (and maybe even spark some ideas you haven’t thought of before).

In this episode, we introduce the Friend Start Formula—a simple three-step approach to kick off conversations and build real connections. From breaking the ice without overthinking to recognizing when a new friendship feels right (and when it doesn’t), we’ve got you covered.

💫 Key Takeaways:

• Taking the pressure off by being interested instead of “interesting”
• Compliments that feel natural and actually build trust
• Reading the room so conversations flow—or end gracefully
• Simple conversation starters that calm nerves on the spot
• Turning small talk into shared activities and real connection
• Spotting red flags before you over-invest in the wrong friendship
• Why friendship really is the ultimate midlife superpower for health + happiness

⭐️ By the end, you’ll feel more confident, less awkward, and maybe even ready to finally say hi to that woman you always see in yoga class—or yes, at Target
