Podcasts about Making Friends

Why does making friends as an adult feel so hard? We talk about spending time alone and keeping friendships alive after marriage. We also recognize Utah communities rallying around children facing serious illnesses, discuss Tennessee’s failed execution attempt, and look at a Davis County excavation in the search for a cold-case victim. Plus, new opportunities for Utah farmers, an autonomous aircraft demonstration, and a Health Class question worth taking a walk over: Could walking be the only exercise you need?  

Why do Danish friends sometimes seem reluctant to invite you into their homes?This week, we answer a listener question from a Lebanese expat in Copenhagen who loves hosting dinners for friends but rarely gets invited back by their Danish friends. Is it a Danish cultural difference, a question of friendship groups, or simply a matter of personality?Derek, Conrad and returning guest, Kriti Prajapati talk about hosting, Danish friendship circles, language barriers, cultural references, social media FOMO, getting rejected by friends, and why building friendships in Denmark can sometimes require a little more intention.Plus: how to actually spend time with your Danish friends outside the usual group setting and our increasingly questionable advice for getting a Dane to invite you over.More of Kriti:Tickets for Kriti's show at Up Festival: https://upfestival.dk/om/komikere/kriti-prajapatiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kriticalcomedy/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KritiPrajapatiOther WAYDID episodes with Kriti: https://pod.link/1704607322/episode/NjczMjdkOWE0N2JmOTIwNTRlMDZkN2Nm00:00 Welcome to WAYDID + Kriti returns00:43 Why don't my Danish friends invite me over?02:15 Is Danish hosting actually different?04:38 The language barrier nobody thinks about08:37 Why cultural references matter in friendship11:45 Danish friends already have established friend groups13:32 Social media makes feeling left out worse14:02 Should you mix Danish and international friends?17:25 Are Danes less spontaneous about socializing?19:19 Do Danes have different kinds of friends?21:37 When should you stop trying with a friend?22:38 Is this just a Copenhagen thing?23:05 Why Danes schedule doing nothing23:55 How to actually get closer to Danish friends25:20 How to make a Dane invite you over26:48 Maybe it's not a Danish problem27:56 Kriti's comedy festival show28:46 Thanks for listening!

The first time my therapist asked me to picture "little Rachel" on the playground, glasses and all, and offer her the comfort she needed, I thought it sounded so woo-woo. I went along with it, but I was skeptical that imagining my younger self could change anything about how I feel today. What I didn't know then is that there's real science behind exercises like that one. Our sense of worth is built on our memories, and researchers are finding that when we revisit those memories in the right way, we can actually change how they're stored in the brain.This week's guest is Dr. Marisa G. Franco, psychologist and author of Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment. She explains that even though low self-esteem can feel permanent, the truth is much more hopeful: self-worth is a skill, and there are simple, research-backed practices that can help you build it at any age. In this episode, you'll learn:

In this episode, we explore what it looks like to make friends in adulthood as an ambitious woman—from getting past the beliefs that make putting yourself out there feel harder than it needs to, to finding people who are actually OPEN to connection. We also chat why ambitious women need ambitious friends, beginning again after friendship loss, and a few things I learned from my experience at the Create & Cultivate Festival. What you'll learn in this episode: The two beliefs that quietly make adult friendship HARDER than it needs to be: that putting yourself out there is a humiliation ritual (it's not!), and that everyone is on a no new friends vibe (they're not) Tangible ways to meet and genuinely connect with people—even if you're introverted (i've got 7 for ya!) How to dust yourself off and try again when a potential friendship fizzles and you feel discouraged about trying again. IG: @clearernotlouder

Today, we're speaking with Ryan Dixon. Ryan is an enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota Tribe from Pine Ridge in South Dakota and has spent over two decades immersed in the Lower Sioux community in southern Minnesota. He trained under First Language Dakota speakers, and he now teaches Dakota. An educator and Indigenous language activist, he co-founded a Dakota Immersion Head Start programming and works to keep the language alive for future generations. Ryan grew up in Georgia, far away from the Lakota homelands, but he had access to a first language speaker in his grandmother. When he moved to the Lower Sioux community in Southern Minnesota, he was recognized as someone who knew a little language. That led to people asking him to translate and, later, to an unbelievable apprenticeship that paid him to learn and teach Dakota. He didn't speak fluently until he was 31 and believes anyone can gain fluency in two years. But he says there's one key ingredient that can't be missing if a language learner wants to succeed. He also shares how he connects to the spirit of the Dakota language and what it means to become its friend.-----Hosts / Producers: Leah Lemm, Cole Premo Editor: Britt Aamodt Editorial support: Emily Krumberger Mixing & mastering: Chris Harwood -----For the latest episode drops and updates, follow us on social media. instagram.com/ampersradio/instagram.com/mnnativenews/ Never miss a beat.

Our friend circles shrink as we get older. How do we deal with it? In this episode, therapist Cao Zhikai shares how we can deal with losing friends as we enter adulthood, and what we can do to combat that feeling of loss. She also shares about the grief of friendship breakups, which don’t often get given enough attention in a society that prioritises romantic relationships. Hosts Kai Wen and Sue-Ann discuss why it’s nerve-wrecking making friends as adults, yet having the payoff of a purposeful adult connection is worth it.

In this previously recorded episode, host Timothy Regan and his life partner Kara Stella bring forth the medicine and gifts that live within the experience of loneliness. Vivek Murthy, our U.S. Surgeon General, has named loneliness as a serious public health risk for our country, with half of our citizens reporting feeling lonely at any one time. We explore how NOT to respond to loneliness in ourselves, and then explore nurturing and powerful ways to respond that enhance our social, mental, and spiritual health.  Three of our favorites are these: Express gratitude to someone else Offer support to someone else Ask for help from someone else May your loneliness guide you to your power to rekindle and grow life-giving connections with your fellow humans!             The post Making Friends with Loneliness and Connection appeared first on KPFA.

Friendship might not come in a supplement bottle, but we'd argue it's one of the most important forms of medicine we have.  So this week, we're doing something a little different.We're talking about friendship - how our experiences of it have shaped us, why making and keeping friends can feel VERY different as an adult, what happens when you outgrow a friendship, and why sometimes losing a friend can hurt every bit as much as a romantic breakup.We also share some very personal stories from our own friendship histories — from moving 22 times and never quite feeling like you belonged anywhere, to lifelong friendships, spectacularly painful friendship breakups, misunderstandings, vulnerability, learning to let people really know you… and the slightly terrifying act of making new friends as a grown-up.So grab a cuppa, settle in for a chat with us… and when you're finished, go call your bestie. ❤️FIND NAT BELOW:Website - https://nataliekdouglas.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/natalie.k.douglasBook a Free Assessment Call - https://NatalieKDouglas.as.me/?appointmentType=50255874EndoNourish - Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Guide - https://nataliekdouglas.com/endonourish-holistic-endometriosis-adenomyoisis-care-guide/SacredSeeds - Preconception Care Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/preconception-care-guide/PCOS Wellness Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/pcos-holistic-guide/Thyroid Rescue - Self guided programhttps://nataliekdouglas.com/thyroid-rescue/Coming Off The Pill/IUD Holistic Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/coming-off-the-pill-mini-course/PMS/PMDD Natural Solutons Masterclass https://nataliekdouglas.com/pms-pmdd-natural-solutions-masterclass/Restore and Nourish Gut Reset - https://nataliekdouglas.com/restore-nourish-gut-reset/Perimenopause Masterclass -https://nataliekdouglas.com/perimenopause-masterclass-holistic-toolkit/Become a one-to-one clienthttps://nataliekdouglas.com/1-1-naturopathic-nutrition-consultations/FIND AMIE BELOW:Book a Free Assessment Call: https://p.bttr.to/3yBdmu3   Book Yourself In: https://l.bttr.to/ZDxWOWebsite - https://whatthenaturopathsaid.com   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thatnaturopathJoin the mailing list - https://elysium-clinic-of-natural-medicine.ck.page/69663ce14a  PS: yes we are practitioners, but we're not YOUR practitioners - it should go without saying but our episodes are not medical advice.

Why does making friends and finding community feel so much harder after growing up with a narcissistic or emotionally immature mother? This week, we talk about how childhood trauma shapes connection, belonging, attachment, and relationships long into adulthood. We name why so many daughters feel behind socially, why loneliness isn't simply about being alone, and how healing from narcissistic abuse includes learning to build safe, healthy relationships. If you've ever wondered why connection feels so difficult despite desperately wanting it, you make sense to me. I see you and I believe you and as always, in it with you. Come find us: MayhemDaughters.com/community

Travel nursing does more than change your zip code. It changes how you carry yourself into a new unit, how you build relationships from scratch, and how you define what matters most in your life and career. In this episode of Nursing Uncharted, Audrey T., manager of recruitment at AMN Healthcare, sits down with two travel nurses, Ilana and Paige, who are living that transformation in real time. Best friends from Phoenix who met as PACU coworkers, Ilana and Paige are now on assignment together in San Diego. But their paths there looked different: Ilana has been traveling for a year and a half, while Paige is just six weeks into her first contract. Together, they open up about what actually shifts when you take the leap into travel nursing, the confidence, the friendships, the priorities, and share the advice they wish someone had given them on day one. Key Takeaways Confidence comes from trusting your existing skills. You already know how to care for patients. The unfamiliar policies and procedures at a new facility are details you will figure out, not evidence that you are unprepared. Asking questions is a sign of strength, not weakness. Ilana's go-to phrase when starting a new assignment, "How do you do this here?", shows experience while demonstrating respect for each facility's way of doing things. Community does not happen by accident. Plugging into something outside of work, whether it is surfing, church, or a volunteer group, gives you a low-pressure way to build a life in a new city. Relationships become your anchor. Distance often makes friendships and family connections more intentional, not less meaningful. Flexibility is a mindset you can practice. Learning to sit with the unknown, not knowing your next contract or location, becomes easier when you stay grounded in who you are. Your identity should not depend on your zip code. Knowing your values and purpose before a big transition helps you land on solid ground, no matter where the assignment takes you. Episode Chapters 00:00—Introduction: Why This Conversation Matters 00:42—Meet Ilana and Paige: From PACU Coworkers to Travel Partners 03:57—What Excited Them Most About Travel Nursing 04:57—Family Reactions to the Big Move 08:05—Overcoming Early Challenges on a New Unit 10:23—Building Community in a Temporary Home 11:08—How Travel Nursing Shapes Personal Identity 14:26—Shifting Priorities: Relationships, Rest, and Purpose 17:06—Making Friends as a Travel Nurse 22:37—Clinical Confidence and On-the-Job Growth 26:17—Advice for New Grads and Future Travelers Guest Spotlight: Ilana and Paige Ilana and Paige met at their first PACU job, one arriving from the ICU, the other from the ER, and became fast friends despite their departmental rivalry. Both are lifelong Arizona residents and four-year nurses who decided that experiencing new places did not require giving up the community they love back home. Ilana has been traveling for a year and a half and describes herself as a proud PACU travel nurse who has learned to embrace flexibility, both in her career and in life. Paige, an ER nurse with PACU experience, is only six weeks into her first assignment but already speaks with the clarity of someone who has done the work to stay centered through big change. Now on assignment together in San Diego, they bring a rare, honest perspective on what it actually feels like to build a new life one contract at a time, and why leaning on each other has made the transition easier for both of them.

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell chapter 39 "Making Friends" narrated by Isaac BirchallSubscribe on YT or Join the Book Club on KO-FI and support me as an independent creator :D⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOFfvo05ElM96CmfsGsu3g/join⁠Summary:Margaret shuts herself up in her room after her meeting with Mrs. Thornton, thinking over everything that was said and waiting for the woman to leave the house. Though disappointed, she determines that she is innocent of her accusations and cannot be hurt by the matron's words. But she also comes to the conclusion that Mr. Thornton must also take Frederick for a lover, and is shocked, and is curious why she is shocked; why should she care. While thinking about all of this she gets ready to leave the house. She goes on a walk in the countryside and when she returns, she runs into her father at the door and says that she will go and visit Mrs. Boucher. The woman in incredibly ill, and more or less on her deathbed. She goes instead to visit Higgins. He is looking after some of Mrs. Boucher's children. Margaret asks him if he went to Mr. Thornton. The man's attitude suddenly changes, and he tells her that he wasn't given a job and says that Thornton spoke to him in a similar way to the other Masters. Margaret goes to say how disappointed she is in Thornton, only to hear a footstep on the door, to turn around, and to see Thornton standing there. She bows politely and rushes out of the room. Thornton feels very awkward about Margaret having been there. Thornton was shocked by the 5 hours that Higgins spent waiting to talk to him, and while he didn't have 5 hours to spare, he spent 2 hours going around trying to confirm Higgins' story and was very pleased to find it to be truthful. He then asks Higgins if the “woman” he spoke about was Margaret. He then asks about the children, asking if they are his. Higgins retaliates a little to this and defends his position from that morning. Thornton then asks if Higgins will take work with him. Higgins looks at the children, and says that Thornton called him names, and he called him names in return, finally asking, if after all they, they could get on together. Thornton laughs a little at this and says that they can't think worse of each other than they do now. The then talk a little business and Mr Thornton then leaves. Outside he runs again into Margaret, and instead of leaving her, he finally bucks up the courage to speak with her. He tells her that he took Higgins on and apologises for what he said about women meddling. Margaret then goes to say that Higgins didn't tell him the whole truth, but the word Truth makes her stop. Thornton catches on this and asks her why she lied about being at the station. Margaret refuses, saying that she cannot betray the trust of the man she was with. Thornton leaves her. Walking home, Margaret is very confused about everything that he said to her. When home, she gets a letter from cousin Edith saying that she will be moving back to Harley Street, filling Margaret with joy at the possibility of returning to London life with her friends.SEO stuff I don't want to do. Elizabeth Gaskell's classic, "North and South" sees Margaret Hale's live uprooted as her family moves to the north of England. Initially disgusted by the ugliness of the industrial town of Milton, Margaret develops a strong sense of social justice after seeing the poverty and suffering of local mill workers.

This is an abbreviated version of Checkup's topic on how to make and maintain friendships as an adult. According to Statistics Canada, Canadians are spending less time with friends that in previous generations. And the World Health Organization has labeled loneliness a global public health concern. We'll hear about how Canadians are creating community, keeping the spark alive in friendships, and get advice on how to form new connections as we age.

According to Statistics Canada, adults are spending less time with friends than previous generations. We'll hear from callers how they've found creative ways to make lasting connections as an adult, and hear from a psychologist about why these relationships change as we age and what to do about it.

When we're facing disappointment or challenge, it's easy to default to negative narratives about who we are inherently: I'm a failure. What's wrong with me? I never do anything right.  This week, teacher Rich Fernandez invites a different perspective: When we shift from naming an existential trait (like, I must be a loser) to naming a temporary experiential state (like, I'm experiencing a setback that's discouraging), then we can actually return awareness and agency to ourselves and navigate a way through the challenge.  Rich Fernandez has dedicated his career to building more purposeful, mindful, and high-performing workplaces. He is the former CEO of Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (SIYLI), co-founded Wisdom Labs, and has also served in senior roles at eBay, J.P. Morgan Chase, and Bank of America. Currently, he is the Head of Executive Development at Gap, Inc. The transcription of this guided meditation will be online and in our app at Mindful.org next week.  Stay curious, stay inspired.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by friendship expert, ADHD coach, and author Caroline Maguire to talk about the friendship skills most of us were never taught. We explore how past relational wounds, people-pleasing, fear of rejection, and even being easily distracted can impact our ability to build and maintain meaningful friendships. Caroline shares practical tools to help us stop performing for connection and start creating relationships that feel more genuine, supportive, and fulfilling. This was a super fun conversation (we found out she's living next to the small town I grew up in - I literally haven't met anyone who knew of my town since I was 18!). Plus the things we dove into were great!  Listen in to hear: How past friendship experiences may still be shaping your relationships today Why some people struggle to maintain friendships even when they deeply care The hidden role of rejection sensitivity and overthinking How people-pleasing and masking can get in the way of authentic connection Practical ways to deepen friendships during busy seasons of life What belonging actually feels like and how to create more of it Friendship isn't something we're supposed to know how to do. Like any skill, it can be learned, practiced, and strengthened.

Making Friends | Luke 16:1-13 | Trinity 9 (Pastor Kress)

Have you ever felt lonely in a season where you actually had people around you?I know I have.After having my fourth child, I found myself feeling incredibly overwhelmed. I had people in my life, but I realized I wasn't truly letting them in. I wasn't being honest about what was hard, where I was struggling, or what I really needed. After experiencing a panic attack, I found myself in counseling and on a journey toward finding deeper, more meaningful connections.In this week's Coffee with Heather mentor series, I want to talk about community in motherhood because I know how hard it can be. As moms, we are constantly pouring out—meeting our kids' needs, managing schedules, and caring for everyone around us. Sometimes friendship gets pushed to the side because we simply don't have the energy left.But the truth is, we were never meant to do motherhood alone.In this conversation, I share: Why making and maintaining friendships can feel so difficult as a mom. How we can unintentionally keep people at a distance. The insecurity that can come when we see groups of moms who already seem connected. How vulnerability helps us move from surface-level relationships into real connection, and how to practically do that.  Practical ways to start building community, even in a busy season. I also share an interview with Jada Edwards about the importance of remembering that our kids don't need a perfect mom—they need the mom God created us to be. We can trust Him with the gaps and allow Him to bring people into our lives who can speak truth, love, and encouragement into our children. God often provides a village in ways we don't expect. Sometimes we just have to be willing to ask Him to show us who those people are and take the first step toward connection.Connect with Melanie Shankle:  Website: Big Mama – the big mama blog  Facebook: Melanie Shankle -The Big Mama Blog Connect with Jada Edwards:  Website: Jada Edwards  Instagram: Jada A Edwards (@jada_edwards) Links Mentioned:  Feelings Chart Needs Chart Don't Mom Alone: By Heather MacFadyen Related Episodes: You are Qualified in Christ :: Jada Edwards [Ep 248] Generational Healing: Becoming the Mom You Needed :: Melanie Shankle [Ep 508] Navigating Friendship :: Melanie Shankle [Ep 273]  Featured Sponsors:  Branch Basics: And here's the good news—Branch Basics is now available everywhere you shop: at Target, Target.com, Amazon, and of course, BranchBasics.com.

Making friends as an adult is something almost everyone struggles with, but not many people talk about. In this episode of Merging Into Life, host Sabrina Pierotti sits down with psychologist and anti-loneliness advocate Vassia Sarantopoulou to explore why connection gets harder as we get older, and what we can actually do about it. From the emotional baggage that makes us slow to trust, to the limiting beliefs that keep us stuck at home, Vassia offers compassionate, practical insight into breaking the cycle of isolation and building friendships that actually feel meaningful.Vassia Sarantopoulou's website: antiloneliness.comMissed Vassia's first appearance on the show?

When we're kids, friendship just... happens.We're surrounded by classmates, teammates, roommates, and neighbors. But somewhere between careers, motherhood, relationships, and the never-ending to-do list, making meaningful friendships can start to feel surprisingly difficult.In this episode, I'm joined by licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and founder of Bluebird Counseling Services, Alexandria Gohla, to unpack why connection feels so much harder in adulthood—and why so many women find themselves longing for something deeper than another group chat.Alex shares insights from her work with women, the inspiration behind her upcoming book, More Than the Group Chat, and the importance of vulnerability, intentionality, and creating spaces where women feel safe to truly belong.Together, we explore: Why adult friendships require more intention than they did growing up  What's really keeping women from forming deeper connections  The difference between being surrounded by people and feeling genuinely known  How vulnerability strengthens relationships  Practical ways to begin building meaningful friendships—even if you're starting from scratch  Why online communities can be a starting point, but in-person connection still matters If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "I wish I had people like that," this conversation is for you.Connect with Alex:Blue Bird Counseling ServicesMore Than the Group ChatConnect with Her Village:If you're longing for deeper connection and you're local to the Chicago suburbs, I'd love to meet you at an upcoming Her Village event!

You've probably heard the advice: "If they don't match your energy, cut them off."But what if that mindset is actually causing you to lose really good friendships?In this video, I'm sharing a different perspective after spending the last 15 years studying friendship and sharing more than 500 meals with strangers. We'll talk about why friendship isn't a scoreboard, why reciprocity can quietly become transactional, and what you should be looking for instead when building meaningful relationships.Get your "12 Questions to Ask Before You End the Friendship" Guide for FREE here!Support the showWant to work with Zoe 1-on-1 for personalized friendship coaching for that extra push and source of accountability?
