Summary
How do you make friends as an adult without it feeling awkward? Why does it seem so much harder than it was when we were kids? And how do you take a friendship from surface-level small talk to something deeper and more meaningful?
This week, Sarah is diving into all things adult friendships—answering your questions about connection, vulnerability, and what it really takes to form lasting relationships. She’s breaking down the biggest misconceptions about making friends as a grown-up, exploring the fine line between independence and emotional openness, and sharing practical ways to strengthen your friendships—especially for men who want to move past the usual "sports and work" conversations. Plus, she’s got some fascinating research on just how long it actually takes to build a true, meaningful bond.
