Welcome to episode 6 of the You Can Call Me Karen Podcast! This is the 3rd and final episode in our Friendship series. This week we dive into the challenges of making new friends as an adult. Loneliness, isolation, social anxiety, and fear of rejection can be obstacles to creating meaningful connections and navigating new social circles. Listen in as we discuss the difficulties of being vulnerable enough to initiate plans or join community groups in hopes of expanding our network and creating a support system as adults.
