If you’ve ever felt like adult friendships are hard (spoiler: they are for everyone!), this episode is for you. I sit down with Lindsey Simcik and Krista Williams, founders, authors, and co-hosts of the wildly popular Almost 30 podcast, who have built a community that’s all about navigating the transitions of adulthood. In this episode, you’ll learn the art of maintaining friendships through life’s many twists and turns, how to honor the different phases of friendships, how to stay connected to friends despite living across the country or world, and why embracing vulnerability is the key to deeper connections. You will also hear specific strategies for maintaining and building friendships, like the clearing conversation. Plus, we tackle the tricky feelings of envy and comparison and offer up how to reframe those emotions into something surprisingly positive. In this episode, we get into: How to make new friends How to maintain a friendship at different stages of life How to navigate conflict with a friend How to have the clearing conversation How to make time for friends when life is busy And so much more!
