Podcasts about make friends

We live in a culture that does everything it can to keep death at a distance. We hide it behind hospital curtains, euphemize it in conversation, and hustle through grief like it's just another item on the to-do list. We don't want death to get in the way of living.But my guest would say that making friends with death is the key to fully embracing life. Joanna Ebenstein is the founder of Morbid Anatomy, a project that uses exhibitions, lectures, and classes to explore how death intersects with history and culture. She's also the author of Memento Mori: The Art of Contemplating Death to Live a Better Life. Today on the show, Joanna shares why we lost a more intimate relationship with death and the life-stifling consequences of that disconnect. We discuss practices for coming to terms with death and removing our fear of it, including looking at memento mori art, meditating on death, talking to the dead, and simply taking care of the practicalities surrounding our inevitable departure.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: What Man Understands That He Is Dying Daily?

I got to sit down with my sweet friend Rachel Awtrey to talk about what it really means to love your life—even when you don't like it all the time. We went deep into the hard stuff: grief, spiritual warfare, motherhood, friendship, and how to CHOOSE joy as a daily practice. Rachel opens up about the loss of her father, writing her book through a miscarriage, and building joy as a skill, not just a feeling. We also chatted about the lies we believe about "balance," how to find friends in a new season, and why being present is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. This episode is for the girl who's tired, overwhelmed, and maybe wondering if this is all life has to offer. Joy is available—and worth fighting for.

Why Is It So Hard to Make Friends as an Adult? 4 Reasons We Struggle with Friendship Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult? You're not alone in wondering! In this episode, host Cecelia Curtis, a Christian friendship coach, wife, boy mom, and all-around friendship encourager, breaks down four key reasons adult friendships can feel so complicated — and what to do about it. Cecelia shares why making and keeping friends as grown women requires more intentionality than ever before, exploring topics like: Fewer natural opportunities to meet new people once school and early life routines end. Time constraints — because careers, kids, and commitments leave little space for connection. Greater selectivity — how knowing yourself better can sometimes make friendship harder. Fear of vulnerability — why opening up feels risky, but it's the key to meaningful connection. This heartfelt, faith-filled episode reminds you that if you're struggling to make or keep friends, you're not the only one. Adult friendship isn't impossible — it just takes intention, patience, and a little courage.
