“How do introverts make friends? They wait for extroverts to find them, like them, and adopt them.”

Funny? Maybe. True? Not quite.

If you're an introvert who craves deeper connection but struggles to initiate friendships, this episode of The Friendship Tour is for you. I share practical, encouraging tips to help introverts build real, authentic relationships—without pretending to be someone they’re not.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why your mindset about introversion is the first and most important shift

  • The subtle signals you might be sending when it comes to connection

  • How making the first move (yes, really!) can lead to stronger friendships

  • Why giving yourself grace is essential in the friendship-building process

Whether you're shy, reserved, or simply someone who enjoys their own company, you can build strong, supportive friendships—on your terms.

🎧 Tune in now for four gentle, doable ways to create the connection you deserve.

After the episode, share your thoughts in the Women, Friendship, and Community Facebook group.
