No one ever told me how hard it would be to make friends as a grown-up.
Welcome to the Friendship Workshop!
Growing up it was always easy for me to make friends. But the older I’ve gotten the harder it’s become.
Post-college was the first time I really noticed it. For the first time in my life I didn’t have the structure of school + sports dictating my days and free time.
Sometimes getting together with a close friend feels like praying that the stars will align. I can go months without seeing people in my life I really care about.
Between work, travel, kids (+ no kids), dating… and umm a GLOBAL PANDEMIC, I have felt more lonely friendship-wise in the last few years than I have in my whole life.
Have you?
I thought I had all these friends in NYC—my home of 7 years—and then the pandemic hit + it felt like everyone scattered. This place, these people I had invested into for so many years seemed to just leave me in the lurch.
I don’t think I’m the only one.
This past year I walked through not 1, not 2, but 3 friendship breakups. It has been devastating to process and grieve the loss of what I thought were lifelong friendships.
Have you lost any friends recently?
Or maybe you have certain friends that you feel you’ve outgrown, or like maybe it’s time to walk away but you don’t know how?
Last year, mid-pandemic, I moved cross country to a new city. With gyms + churches closed—I haven’t known even how to begin with making friends. I feel like I’m starting completely over + have no idea where to start.
Can you relate?

Maybe you feel like :
*Post-college you don’t know how to make friends. Everyone’s schedule is all over the place + you miss those impromptu hangs with your besties. Everything has to be so planned out now, and you miss how things used to be.
*Post-pandemic you feel more isolated and lonely than ever before.
*Even though you know social media is a highlight reel, you feel stuck in comparison over the lives of people you love—and you kinda feel left out.
*You don’t know how to fight fair. It feels like when a conflict arises either you ignore it, come on too strong, or the friendship isn’t the same after you work through it.
*You love your best friend, but it feels like you’re growing apart and you don’t know if it’s time to lean in or let go.
