72: Friendship as an Adult - Why It’s Hard & How to Make It Easy | Adam Hudson

Episode 72

Making new friends as an adult can feel confusing, awkward, or even impossible, but it doesn’t have to be.

In this episode, Adam Hudson returns to break down why adult friendship feels so hard, how your past experiences shape your current relationships, and what to do about it starting today.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in surface-level connections or unsure how to deepen friendships without oversharing or people-pleasing, this conversation will hit home.

We cover:

  • The 3 levels of friendship and how to deepen each one
  • Why some friendships drain you (and what to do about it)
  • How your past pain, especially from school years, shapes your social life now
  • Real ways to build meaningful connections without trying so hard
  • What not to ignore when bringing someone into your inner circle

Whether you’re craving deeper bonds or just want to feel less alone, this episode gives you a grounded, real-world path forward. And as always, expect personal stories, a few laughs, and a whole lot of authenticity.
