EP. 288 Building Meaningful Friendships in Midlife with Dr. Kathleen Young, Psychiatrist & Life Coach

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kathleen Young to talk about what it really looks like to build meaningful friendships in midlife, especially as a business owner. We talk about why friendships can start to feel harder as you get older, how life transitions shift your relationships, and why many women realize in midlife that they want deeper or different connections. Kathleen shares how friendships are built intentionally, not accidentally, and why your thoughts and assumptions about other people can either open the door to connection or quietly shut it. We also get into how friendships impact business growth, why you can’t build a business in isolation, and what it looks like to step outside your comfort zone to create relationships that actually support you. This episode focuses on how to rethink friendships, become more intentional about connection, and create relationships that add meaning to both your life and your business.
