Making friends as an adult is harder than anyone warns you about, but it’s not impossible. In this episode, I talk about why adult friendships don’t just happen, how distance and life responsibilities make them more complicated, and why building new connections takes intention (and a little awkwardness). I also share how I maintain my close friendships—Sharon in Mississippi, Dominique in New York, Coretta in Florida, and Shay in California, and why even strong friendships still take effort across distance and time. If you’ve ever felt lonely, frustrated, or just a little “why is this so weird now?” about making friends as an adult, this episode is for you—real talk, a few laughs, and honest truth about connection in adulthood.
