6. Meaningful Connection and the Search for a Best Friend with Heather Adams Jun 15, 2020

Show notes

One thing that resonated deeply in the episode with Jen Hatmaker was the conversation around adult friendships and the search for a best friend. Heather received countless messages about how this specific topic is a pain-point for so many women.

So, Heather's digging into this topic today. At 44-years old, Heather is well-aware how lucky she is to have strong friendships in her life, but she's missing that best friend - that ride or die, friend. That 2 am friend. The one that you go shopping with at the drop of the hat. The one that you text and call every single day. The one that knows your deepest secrets and what's happening at all times. The one whose kids are growing up with your kids.

In this episode, Heather talks about mourning the loss of friendship, lowering expectations, stepping forward boldly, doing some self-reflection of your own, building deep, meaningful connections, and remaining positive while you search for your BFF.
