In this solo episode, Travis Chappell tackles a common question many adults struggle with: Why is it so hard to make friends in your 30s? While friendships seemed effortless in school and college, adulthood introduces new challenges—more responsibilities, less free time, and a deeper sense of personal identity. Travis breaks down the psychological and practical reasons friendships become harder as we age, from increased self-awareness to the disappearance of built-in social circles. He also shares practical strategies to overcome these challenges—like intentionally structuring your schedule, putting yourself in public environments, and learning to initiate small conversations that can lead to meaningful connections. Why increased self-awareness makes finding common ground more difficult as we age How adult responsibilities and time management reduce opportunities for spontaneous friendships Why moving to a new city can disrupt the social networks that help friendships form Practical ways to meet new people by changing where and how you spend your time Why small conversations and simple compliments can open the door to connection 1. Self-awareness makes connection more selective.As people get older, they better understand their personalities, preferences, and boundaries. While this clarity is valuable, it can make it harder to find people with overlapping interests. 2. Your schedule determines your social life.Adult responsibilities can crowd out social opportunities. Being intentional about scheduling activities—even rest or solo outings—helps create space for potential connections. 3. Small interactions create big opportunities.Simple conversations, compliments, or casual comments can spark meaningful connections. Even if most interactions don't lead to friendships, the habit of engaging with others increases the chances that some will. “The more self-awareness you gain, the harder it can be to find mutual interests with new people.” “Don't allow dead space in your calendar—because the easiest thing will always be staying home.” “The future belongs to people who are willing to risk rejection more often than everyone else.” Connect with Travis: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell Twitter/X: https://x.com/traviscchappell Website: https://travischappell.com  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “I only have a few months left before my kid leaves home,” you're not alone. I remember thinking this constantly during my boys' senior years of high school. As moms raising teens and navigating the empty nest transition, it's easy to feel pressure to fix everything, teach everything, and make every moment count before our kids leave. In this episode, I explore how a scarcity mindset shows up in parenting teens...whether it's trying to repair the relationship before they go, worrying they're not ready for the world, or feeling responsible for making their final months at home perfect. I share my own story, including a moment during my son's senior year when I realized how much pressure I was putting on myself. When we shift from scarcity to an abundant mindset, letting go becomes less about loss and more about trust. If you're looking at the calendar and feeling pressure to make the most of the months before your big kid leaves home, this episode will help you breathe a little easier as you navigate the powerful, bittersweet process of letting go.

Making friends as an adult can feel surprisingly difficult, especially once life paths start to diverge, priorities shift, and free time becomes limited. In this episode, I share how I've built meaningful friendships from scratch in three different cities, and what actually matters when it comes to forming connections that last. I talk about using your network intentionally, why friends of friends are the real unlock, how to put yourself out there without forcing it, and how to adjust expectations as people move through different life stages. This episode is both practical and honest, with real examples from my experiences in Boston, Los Angeles, and Chicago. If you're navigating loneliness, rebuilding your social life, or trying to make new friends in adulthood without burning yourself out, this episode will give you a grounded framework for doing so.Subscribe to Beyond Your Budget:https://breakyourbudget.substack.com/Personal Finance Starter Kit: https://breakyourbudget.substack.com/p/your-personal-finance-starter-kitBREAK YOUR BUDGET RESOURCES:

We have lots of social science about the benefits of having good friends. But I hear from a lot of you that you're not sure how to find or make friends in this season of life. That is what we will be exploring in this episode.  I just got back from Costa Rica with girlfriends that I've known since I was four. We're all turning 62 this year, which means we've been friends longer than most marriages last. But I also have friends I've made in adulthood who are just as important to me, and I'm absolutely committed to them. Vic knew he was going to have to be a good sharer. I said straight up at the beginning of our relationship, "I love a lot of people. If you're a possessive type of person, we will not be a good fit." He was not and has been sharing me since 1997, lol!  If you don't have close friends, I want you to know you can. It's a skill like anything else. On today's episode, I'll share some tips to help you take stock of your friendships, find new friends as an adult, and keep the ones you love.

Stimulant medication has been widely prescribed to treat ADHD effectively for decades. But is the impact for a person more than just greater focus and attention? Does it change a person's understanding of oneself, one's relationships, and overall approach to life--i.e. one's personality?

In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode of Our Forever Smiles, Laura welcomes returning guest Corinne for her third appearance on the podcast. Born with a cleft lip and palate, Corinne shares her lifelong journey through more than 30 surgeries, including repeated palate repair failures, innovative fat grafting procedures, and the emotional toll of navigating cleft care into adulthood. Together, Laura and Corinne discuss acid reflux as a lesser-known contributor to palatal repair failure, the trauma many adults carry from childhood surgeries, parenting while undergoing medical procedures, and why reframing "failure" as partial success can be life-changing. Corinne also provides updates on the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act (ELSA), her advocacy work with Smile Train, and what cleft families and adults can do to navigate insurance, language, and long-term care. This episode is a must-listen for cleft parents, adults with cleft lip and palate, advocates, and anyone seeking hope, validation, and honest conversation about what the cleft journey can look like beyond childhood.

In this episode, Brent and Ixchell look at trauma in the adult ESOL classroom. It's a heavy subject, but it's also incredibly relevant, both right now and for anyone working with English learners. Our field serves populations who, more often than not, have experienced some form of trauma in their lives. Most instructors are not trained in trauma counseling or mental health support. Because of that, Brent and Ixchell turned to research articles and expert perspectives to help listeners better understand how educators can create supportive, responsive classroom environments for students who may be carrying these experiences.

Why does making friends feel so much harder as an adult? In a world where we're more connected online than ever before, why are so many people feeling deeply lonely? In this episode, Dr. Lauryn sits down with author, speaker, and friendship expert Shari Leid to explore the hidden crisis of adult friendship and why so many successful, driven people still feel disconnected in their daily lives. From friendship breakups to the pressure of building new relationships later in life, this conversation uncovers the emotional realities many people silently struggle with.Together, Lauryn and Shari dive into the loneliness epidemic, why friendship breakups can hurt as much as romantic ones, and how modern life has quietly eroded our sense of community. Shari shares lessons from her journey traveling the United States and meeting with women from every walk of life to better understand belonging, connection, and what truly builds lasting friendships. If you've ever felt like it's harder than it should be to make or maintain meaningful relationships as an adult, this episode offers practical insight and hope for creating deeper connections in your life.Key Takeaways:• Adult friendship requires intentionality. Unlike childhood or college friendships formed through proximity, meaningful adult friendships often require deliberate effort, shared environments, and consistent interaction to grow.• Friendship breakups are more common—and more painful—than most people realize. Normalizing the idea that friendships evolve or end can help people process those changes without shame or unnecessary self-blame.• Loneliness is a growing health crisis. Building community, practicing curiosity in conversation, and focusing on genuine connection can dramatically improve emotional wellbeing and long-term life satisfaction.About the Guest:Shari Leid is a nationally recognized keynote speaker, author, and connection expert dedicated to helping people build deeper relationships in an increasingly disconnected world. She is the creator of the Flip the Box Method, a human-centered leadership approach designed to foster belonging and meaningful connection. Shari is the bestselling author of multiple books including Table for 51, inspired by her journey traveling across the United States to share meals with women in every state. Her work has been featured on NBC's Today Show, ABC, CBS, FOX, and in publications including Time, HuffPost, and Shondaland.Find all things Shari Leid by visiting her website, An Imperfectly Perfect LifeFollow Shari on InstagramResourcesFollow Dr. Lauryn: Instagram | X | LinkedIn | FacebookFollow She Slays on YouTubeSign up for the Weekly Slay newsletter!Mentioned in this episode:Learn more about Sunlighten Saunas and get your She Slays discount by clicking the link below!She Slays Associates Job BoardTo learn more about CLA and the INSiGHT scanner go to the link below and enter code SHESLAYS when prompted.CLADo you need help in your practice with the busy work that you or your staff don't like doing?

Most of us want deeper relationships, but life gets busy, people move away, and past hurts can make opening up feel risky. Over time, it's easy to start believing that doing life alone is just easier. But isolation slowly drains us emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.In Ecclesiastes 4:9–12, the Bible offers a different vision: we were never meant to walk through life alone. Friends help us move forward when life feels overwhelming. They help us get back up when we fall. They bring comfort in hard seasons and strength when our faith feels shaky.Research today confirms what Scripture has long taught—healthy friendships are one of the strongest predictors of a meaningful, thriving life.But biblical friendship goes deeper than simply having people around. It's about relationships that help keep our feet following Jesus—people who remind us of truth, hope, and faith when we need it most.If you've ever wondered whether friendship is really worth the effort, this message explores why it matters more than we think.Watch and reflect on what kind of friend you want to be.

Adulting can feel like chaos: bills, work pressure, relationships, identity, and the constant question—"What am I supposed to do with my life?" In this episode of Adulting With Autism, we talk with Samantha Kane, founder of Roots Wings Wellness and a Certified Holistic Life Coach (Conscious Guide). Samantha helps people build self-mastery by connecting to their higher selves through grounded, practical rituals—nervous system regulation, boundaries, journaling, and alignment practices that actually work in real life. Samantha shares why the first step for many young adults isn't a perfect plan—it's finding a mentor you trust. We also unpack what "alignment" really means, how to tell the difference between intuition vs anxiety, and what to do when you're stuck—whether you need movement, patience, or both. In this episode, we cover: The first step when you feel lost: finding a mentor (without needing money) What "alignment" is and how to recognize it (jobs, friendships, relationships) Intuition vs anxiety: practical questions to check your "gut" Outgrowing friends, boundaries, and why you don't get to keep every relationship Adult priorities: spending vs bills, and choosing consequences on purpose Purpose pressure in your 20s: why you don't need the "perfect job" immediately Avoiding work identity burnout: managing energy and keeping life separate from work Finding your true self after years of labels: journaling as self-observation Feeling stuck: stagnant energy vs "meantime" waiting (and how to tell the difference) Tools to regulate: grounding/nature, box breathing 4–4–4–44–4–4–44–4–4–4, creative breath visuals Connect with Samantha Kane: Website: https://rootswingswellness.com (free guide + free call available) Instagram: @rootswingswellness

Most women say making friends as an adult is hard. And they're not wrong. But hard doesn't mean impossible, and it doesn't mean out of your control. In this episode I share what I've learned about making friends as an adult, including the small moves that actually work, why the busy seasons of life can quietly create a friendship gap you don't notice until later, and the moment I realized I had more choices than I thought.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, other moms seem closer to their kids than I am? As moms, we care deeply about our relationships with our kids. When they pull away, we can feel anxious, rejected, or even convinced we've done something wrong. And when they stay close, that can bring its own pressure and responsibility. In this episode, I unpack how both experiences—distance and closeness—can trigger the same internal struggle: learning the delicate balance between holding on and letting go. If you're parenting teens and find yourself overthinking your interactions, worrying about whether you're doing it right, or feeling the emotional weight of motherhood shifting as your kids grow more independent, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

These days, it seems like many adults are acting more like toddlers than actual adults. Given that, have you ever witnessed an adult meltdown in public? Also, we discuss brushes with impaired drivers, what will a U.S. victory in Iran look like, and more.

Here's something nobody tells you about adulthood: at some point, you will be expected to both host people in your home and maintain meaningful friendships with those people over decades, with no training, no manual, and no one checking in to see how it's going. This is, it turns out, a lot to ask. Pete and Tommy are asking it anyway.This week the guys dig into the deeply relatable anxiety of being a good house guest and a good host — the unwritten rules, the creature comfort confessions, and the one historical cautionary tale about a famous author whose name you absolutely know that will make you feel significantly better about your own guest behavior. You're welcome.From there, the conversation turns to friendship itself — specifically, why maintaining it feels so much harder than it used to, what the research actually says about why that is, and what embarrassingly simple things turn out to make the biggest difference. Spoiler: it's not a grand gesture. It never is.Want more? Check out The Friendship Issue: We Just Met. I Miss You Already. from Season 10, and The Regrets Issue: Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Pizza for when the guilt spiral hits. ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

She was raised inside what was framed as a sexually liberated utopia. And it took years for her to recognize it for what it was: a sex cult.In this unsettling and deeply thoughtful episode of Holly Randall Unfiltered, Inka Winter shares what it was like to grow up inside a radical art collective that erased boundaries, blurred consent, and normalized control under the banner of free love.Inka breaks down how cult logic shaped her understanding of sex, power, and autonomy, and how those early experiences eventually led her to become an erotic filmmaker, sex educator, and founder of a feminist production company centered on consent and the female gaze.The conversation dives into porn literacy, sex education, fantasy versus reality, and why censorship and silence make people more vulnerable, not safer. Inka explains how the same control structures found in cults still exist in society today, especially in the way sex is regulated, taught, and restricted.Smart, disturbing, and necessary, this episode challenges how we think about sexuality, media, and who gets to decide what is acceptable.Want the unedited, uncensored live tapings + bonus Q&A where fans can ask questions?
