This episode, about navigating friendship through chronic illness, is deeply personal to me.

Have you ever felt like you’re ALWAYS the one giving a shoulder to cry on – but don’t have one to cry on yourself? I think it’s a common issue among friends. Personally, I used to brag about how I’d drop everything to help a friend in need – but I eventually discovered it wasn’t sustainable, and my friends didn’t reciprocate in quite the same way. …

Have you ever hesitated to set a boundary with a friend for fear of pushing them away? Or, maybe you found yourself on the receiving end of unspoken expectations and left guessing what your friend truly needed. Our friendships are some of the only relationships we have by choice – but sometimes that freedom can make us hesitate to trust. We’re subc…

Today I’m going to share my personal hot takes about friendship. If you’ve been listening to Friendship IRL for a while, you’ll recognize some of these ideas, but some thoughts are new, and some I haven’t presented as directly as I do today.

Imagine you’ve made the move you’ve always dreamed of. You live on the other side of the world and experience a new culture.

Today’s guest, Linda Mueller, has lived th…

There’s no better way to test your friendship skills than to move to a new city, and today’s guest, Leannda Shearer, has moved to a new city not once or twice but eight different times!

If you’re somebody who dreads going to a party, then this episode is for you. Sometimes the couch feels more appealing than going out into the world and socializing, and I get it. Attending a gathering takes energy. Sometimes it feels awkward. But gatherings can also make us feel inspired and supported and invigorated. Today I offer an approach tha…

Do you know men who don’t have close friends? It’s a common problem (one that I cover in Episode 31 and Episode 32 of this podcast) with major implications. Poor social and mental health in men is connected with all kinds of other issues ranging from suicide and depression to gun violence. Joining me to talk about this issue is Antonio Neves, a lea…

Today I talk about two friendship terms I’ve been hearing more about lately: the “couch friend” and the “errand friend.” Lots of people want these kinds of friendships because they’re supposed to be easy. You do life’s responsibilities together or you do absolutely nothing together – no planning or panic cleaning required. But how do you find these…

Instead, she learned they couldn’t actually pick up …

Have you ever met someone truly magnetic? They walk into the room, and suddenly, the energy shifts. People are drawn to them. Some might argue that this is just the way some people were born. They inherited some gene that the rest of us didn’t. But I believe magnetic individuals are just people who are doing the thing, putting themselves out there …

A few years ago, I realized that one of my friendship patterns was actually kind of a problem. I’d show up for my friends as Superwoman, bragging that I could (and would) drop everything and do anything for my friends – even if it meant betraying myself and my own needs. Then, when I really needed help, I’d never ask for it. I think we all have fri…

I just want to make friends who are in the same stage of life as me. In this business, I hear some of the same phrases over and over, and this is one of them.

If you’re having a bad day, try bragging about a friend. Talk about that thing they did and why they’re so great – it will turn your whole day around.

Think about your closest friends. Have you ever felt yourself saying, maybe I just don’t know them anymore? Or, why is it so hard for us to get together?

I’ve been paying more attention to my self talk lately, particularly my negative self talk. It’s so easy to berate ourselves and give ourselves labels about our interactions. I’m a bad friend. I’m awkward. I’m terrible at small talk. I’m not good at showing up. But what if instead of saying, I’m awkward, we say, that interaction was awkward, and lo…

Due to my life’s circumstances, I had to approach friends…

Sometimes to feel closer to our friends there’s this pressure to share our most vulnerable feelings or unearth some deep, dark secret. But what if I told you there are more ways to feel connected to our friends that are actually simpler, easier, and more common?

Do you want to teach your kids how to make and maintain friendships?

That way, you can separate your …

When the term “learned loneliness” came across my desk, it made my ears perk up. The idea of learned loneliness – that loneliness is now our new normal – resonates with me; I often find myself wanting to see people, but instead, I’m scrolling or turning on the TV. I used to think this was laziness, but now I think I’ve gotten comfortable being unco…
