This week, we’re diving into the weird, wonderful world of finding friends as an adult. Whether you just moved to a new city, went through a breakup, or simply woke up one day and realized your circle got smaller—this episode is for you. I’m talking about how to make new friends without it feeling like dating, why it’s okay (and kind of magical) to go out alone, and how picking up new hobbies can transform your social life and sense of self. If you’ve ever Googled “how to make friends in your 30s” or stood awkwardly at a pottery class wondering if anyone will talk to you—yeah, same.
