Making Friends as an Adult (My Experience in my Late 20's)

After moving to a new city and starting from scratch, I am sharing my raw truth of what it's actually like to build friendships in your late 20s and beyond. Just practical tips, personal insights and a refreshing reminder that connection is still possible (and fun!) if you're willing to put yourself out there. What we discuss: Why making friends as an adult is so hard — and how to stop taking rejection personally The role of vulnerability in creating authentic connection Where to find aligned people (yes, even if you're not a raging extrovert) How to use TikTok, Bumble BFF & your personal brand to expand your circle Why overseas friendships can feel deeper and how to bring that mindset home Reframing social pressure: not every hangout has to be deep or perfect The secret ingredient?
