Episode 6: Adult Friendships: Making them, Keeping them, and Growing with them

Friendships as a an adult can be .......different, amiright?
Distance, life phases, a variety of things can make connecting, even just a phone call, a little wonky.

The time it takes to form a brand new friendships, can be hard to find with work, family, hobbies also all vying for attention and a piece of your 24hr day. 
 Is it worth it, YES.
Will it always be as easy as it was in high school or college? No.

What can we do?

-Be understanding with the friends we do have, if distance or life phases/situational issues come up--- true friends are always there, even if it's been a while.
- Be OPEN to the new friends surrounding you...they may  not be the same as your BFF from 5th grade, but give it time- it will take longer in most cases to build that strong foundation.   I mention a trick I learned following @ameskiefer  --- if your kids preschool has mail boxes for each kiddo--- it is NOT creepy to drop a note to a kiddo your child keeps talking about.... who knows where it could lead, and people think it is SO thoughtful.

More on the podcast- I hope you will gain some insight, and also know you are not alone, if you have every struggled in the friendship category.  Also know, it won't be like this forever!
