Summary
Do you want more or deeper friendships? According to my Instagram posts on this topic, the answer is YES!
Which means, great news, everyone else wants to be your friend too!
When I had this desire in my own life, I decided to stop wishing for friends to “ask me out” and decided to make the first move. Today I’m sharing the specific steps I took.
(Also if you’ve experienced loss of friendships, I shared vulnerably about this in Episode 1.)
A sweet madlibs to shout-out the beautiful folks who ARE in your life, is available under “Podcast” pinned stories @HilaryRushford. While you’re there leave me a comment below my latest post, whatever it is, to share your takeaways from the episode!
