25. How To Make Friendships As An Adult Mar 16, 2021

Show notes

The Episode:

Loneliness is something we all feel sometimes, especially during this pandemic, where human connection is even more difficult to experience. However, we rarely feel comfortable talking about the loneliness we experience, especially when it's due to a lack of friends instead of a lack of a romantic partner. Whether you're moving to a new city or just looking for more friends, finding friendships as an adult can be difficult, but just as rewarding as a romantic relationship. Today, we have Raeann and Kristina's friend Hannah on the podcast to chat about ending her engagement and committing herself to building female friendships after. We hope this inspires you to make connections with people around you and put yourself out there to build the friendships you deserve!
