How We've Made Friends as Adults

ADULT FRIENDSHIPS. We’ve gotten some questions about how to make friends as adults, so Raeann and Kristina are sharing how they’ve done it in this episode! R+K both moved to new cities in their early twenties and had to make a new family of friends, so they know how hard to find but extremely necessary those relationships are. You’ll learn from Kristina and Raeann’s personal stories and hopefully become inspired to go out and make those connections. Rae and Kristina also give some tips and encouragement for putting yourself out there and even provide examples for what to say to get the conversation started. Whether you’ve moved to a new city or simply want to create more aligned friendships for who you are now, we hope this episode gives you the advice you’ve been looking for. Here’s to new, fun and fulfilling friendships!
