Summary

Are you lonely? Making and maintaining friendships as an adult can be HARD.

My friends aren't just a group of ladies to grab a glass of wine and gossip with -- these women are the people who know my soul, want to hear about my heartaches, and ignite some of the deepest belly laughter and go-get-em inspiration ever.

But finding friends, building these life-giving relationships that fill me up instead of wearing me down? THAT IS HARD. Making friends as an adult is not easy. Can you relate?

If you've been feeling like there's a hole in your relationships and like you need a friend, this is for you. We’re talking about making new friends, sustaining old ones, and all the reasons why your circle matters.

0:34.7	realize just how much I needed some quality girl time and time just being me and not the
0:40.7	mom version of me, which I love by the way, but it kind of felt nice to have a little
0:44.7	break.
0:45.7	Now, between the girl time was an event with Aryan.
0:48.5	At the event, I asked a room filled with women.
0:51.0	I said, is making friends as an adult hard for you to?
0:54.9	And I literally thought people's heads were going to fall off with the intensity of
0:58.0	the nods happening around the room.
1:00.1	And so today, let's talk about friendships.
1:03.4	You don't need me to tell you this because if you're an adult, you already know that
1:07.5	making friends is hard to freaking work between our jobs and our families and daily responsibilities
1:13.1	and errands and travel and stress the margin that's left over for making a new friend or
1:18.0	even just plain hanging out with the friends you already have is pretty non-existent.
