The Real Stuff with Lucie Fink

SOLO: How I made new friends as an adult after moving (EXACTLY what I did + tips for everyone)

Listen Later

In this highly-requested solo episode, Lucie dives deep into her experience making adult friendships — specifically how she built a new social circle after moving from NYC to the suburbs. If you’ve ever wondered how to make new friends after 30, how to actually keep them, or how to balance your social battery with mom life, this one’s for you. Listen for personal stories of how Lucie met her people in a place where she knew no one, the mindset shift that made it easier, and tips anyone can apply - whether you’re in a new town or just craving deeper connections.
