In Episode 22 Lynn Morstead and Kelli Soika talk about making new friends in adulthood. Inspired by Marisa Fanco's TED Talk about her book, Platonic, here are some of the key take-aways from her talk that they dig into deeper:

  • "Collective connections are needed to make you feel whole"
  • “For friendships to happen organically you need to have repeated unplanned interactions and shared vulnerability”
  • “Transitioners” - are more likely to engage in new connections
  • “The Exposure effect" - we tend to like people just because they are familiar.
