You’re in your forties, fifties, or beyond and you look around and wonder, where the hell are my besties? Maybe you had awesome connections in college but now everyone’s in a different place… maybe you started working on yourself and getting into personal development and they’re still acting like they’re still in college. Or maybe you had kids and they didn’t. Or vice versa. Or maybe you have a friend or two who you grew up with, but you have become radically different people, and often you wonder if you should still be friends. But you’ve been friends forever though…
I completely hear you. When we’re young we have school and academia as an organic medium to meet new friends. But what happens if you don’t connect deeply with the folks you work with at this stage of life? Or what if you work in a business of one? What if you have young kids and are so enveloped by their worlds that you haven’t had your own damn playdate in a few years?
In this episode, I talk candidly about how our friendship connections change over the years, why they change, and what you can do to usher in some awesome new connections. And guess what? It actually doesn’t have to be so hard. Promise.
