The Bitter and The Sweet Podcast

How to Make (and Keep!) Friends as an Adult with Kristen Strong- Episode 44


Listen Later

We are going all in today on one of our most requested topics by listeners: friendship!

Here to help us navigate this important conversation is a new friend of mine, Kristen Strong. 

Kristen is a wife, mom of three, contributor at (in)courage, and author of multiple books, including her latest, Desperate Woman Seeks Friends: Real Talk about Connection, Rejection, and Trying Again for the Friendships You Need.

Join Kristen and I as we talk about: 

  • the challenges of making friends as an adult
  • loneliness and what it is doing to our health
  • the importance of vulnerability and boundaries in friendship
  • managing our expectations of our friends
  • navigating friendship breakups
  • why rejection is not always about you

I hope this conversation encourages you and helps you remember that while friendship is not always easy- especially as an adult- it is worth it!
