Podcasts about Making Friends

Are you feeling lonely? Hear why making and keeping friends as an adult is harder than ever, and learn evidence-based strategies to build meaningful connections in a world that prioritizes productivity over people.  

Join us for a three-part Friendship Series, a rebroadcast of a selection of our most popular episodes centered around the topic of friendship.  In the first installment, we travel back to the 9th episode of TOOST.  In this early episode, from February 2020, Danielle shares her best advice about how to make new friends and the practical strategies she used to find and make connections when she moved to a new city.  TALK BIG QUESTIONS Use these prompts to have the opposite of small talk in real life. As an adult have you found it difficult to make friends? Thinking back to your most recent connection with a new friend – under what circumstances did you make that connection personally or professionally? Was there a particular piece of advice Danielle offered in this episode that resonated with you? Work with Danielle: If you are ready to start working with a life coach or just want to learn more about the impact that coaching can have in your life, visit Danielle's website at www.daniellemccombs.com and schedule a complimentary exploratory session.  Work with Kristy: You can work with Kristy one-on-one or hire her to speak with your team to improve workplace communication.

You might look like you've got it all together. You show up. You work hard. You smile, you joke, you say you're “fine.” But inside? You might be carrying more than anyone knows.  This is especially true for men. You'd never guess it by looking at them, but so many—maybe even someone you love—are silently carrying a weight that feels too heavy to bear. They're suffering in silence, quietly fighting battles they don't feel safe talking about. Not because they're weak—but because the world taught them that real strength means not showing emotion, not needing help, not breaking down.  In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, I'm joined by Steve Kramer—host of the Certified Mama's Boy Podcast and the Kramer & Jess Morning Show—for a very important  conversation about the epidemic of men suffering in silence. Steve opens up about the private pain he hid behind a public smile, how disconnection and emotional isolation nearly overwhelmed him, and what helped him begin to heal. We're shedding light on the emotional experiences so many men keep hidden—because they've never been taught how to talk about them, or even how to recognize what they're feeling. We'll talk about the real risks of going it alone, the quiet ways people often show they're not okay even when they say they are, and how men can get the support they need. If you or someone you care about has ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or like you're barely holding it together behind the scenes, this conversation is for you.

Struggles that stay hidden don't just go away—they weigh you down over time, and it can start to take a toll on your health, your relationships, your life. You don't have to figure it out all on your own. There is space for you to be honest. To get support. To be human. There is help that meets you where you are.

Plus, you'll pay just a fraction of the cost of other coaches. It's truly such an amazing value.

From weak remote access tools to the confusion around who actually manages plant security, this episode shines a light on the hidden risks most companies overlook.Whether you're in IT, operations, or a leadership role, you'll walk away with a better understanding of how to approach cybersecurity in complex industrial settings.You'll also gain insights into the steps you can take to protect your people, your technology, and your bottom line.Chapters:00:00:00 - Kicking Off: Smart Tool Choices Start Here00:01:02 - When CISOs Inherit the Factory Floor00:02:17 - Making Friends with OEMs and Integrators00:04:47 - Why OT Security Is a Whole Different Beast00:08:50 - Cyber Budgets: Where's the Money Really Coming From?00:13:10 - How to Actually Roll Out Security in the Plant00:18:35 - VPNs Aren't Enough: Fixing Remote Access00:24:42 - What OT Incident Response Really Looks Like00:27:17 - Wrapping It Up: Strategy, Buy-In, and What's NextLinks And Resources:Industrial Cybersecurity Insider on LinkedInCybersecurity & Digital Safety on LinkedInBW Design Group CybersecurityDino Busalachi on LinkedInCraig Duckworth on LinkedInThanks so much for joining us this week.

* Is storm surge getting worse along the Gulf Coast? * How do you handle a break-up like an adult? Or the end of a friendship?

Making new friends as an adult is challenging—and motherhood often makes it even harder. Between family responsibilities, full schedules, and emotional fatigue, it can feel like there's no space left for connection. And even when we do show up, it's not always easy to know how to move from polite small talk to real, meaningful friendship. In this episode, psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Marisa G. Franco joins me to unpack why friendship often feels so complicated in adulthood—and how we can begin to build the kind of relationships we long for. Whether you're starting from scratch or hoping to deepen the friendships you already have, this conversation will give you both clarity and compassion for where you are—and the tools to take a small step forward.

Elisabeth Jordan, founder and CEO of The Human Impact, shares her powerful transformation from losing her dream job in entertainment to finding purpose through 12 years of street ministry. In this vulnerable conversation, she reveals how an identity crisis led her from Dallas's Park Cities to building genuine friendships with people experiencing homelessness. Learn why she calls them "friends on the street," how mental health and trauma play into homelessness, and why simply making eye contact can change everything.

Hey mama, Today's episode is a little heart-to-heart, inspired by one of you. A listener reached out and saying she's struggling with making friends as a working mom... and it hit me deep. So we're diving all the way in this week! Let's be real…making friends as a grown woman is just plain awkward. It's not like when we were little and you could walk up on the playground and say, “Wanna be friends?” and that was that. Now it takes courage, intentionality, and a whole lot of emotional energy we don't always have left at the end of a long day.  In this episode, I'm sharing a quote that really hit me: 
“Friendships in adulthood don't happen by accident. They happen because someone was brave enough to go first.” — Danielle Bayard Jackson Most of us are walking around hoping someone will reach out, invite us, start the conversation… while we sit quietly convincing ourselves that we'd be bothering someone if we did. But mama…what if you were the one who went first? Here's what you'll hear: • Why friendship feels harder as a working mom • The biggest myths about adult friendships • How I got out of my own way and started connecting with other moms • A mindset shift if you've been feeling too “busy” or “late” to make new friends • A simple challenge to help you build real connection this week

In the past few episodes, I've talked about keeping in touch with friends through the digital space. This episode goes a step further: how do you MAKE friends online?Today's guests are Claudia and Marcela, the mother-daughter duo behind the Minded Society, which offers a supportive virtual environment for women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, with monthly events, book clubs, and personalized connections, helping members find authentic friendships across distances. We dive into everything, from maintaining friendships across time zones to being intentional about using the digital world to form deep connections. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, Minded Society is offering our listeners 50 percent off your first month, plus a free 14-day trial; use the code Friendship IRL on their website.Technology isn't a barrier to deep friendship; if you use it right, it can be a bridge that leads you to the kind of people who make you feel less alone in the world.In this episode you'll hear about:The inception of Minded Society during the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by shared feelings of lonelinessWhat Minded Society is: a community that helps women form authentic friendships despite living in different parts of the worldThe importance of effort in maintaining online friendships, regardless of proximity or technology, and how to channel that effort (voice notes, phone calls, FaceTime, etc.)Generational differences in communication preferences and balancing effort and respect for others' boundariesResources & LinksListen to Episode 127 about calling your friends and Episode 24 about using the Marco Polo app. In this episode I also mention my Roots framework.Like what you hear?

Part 2 of our making friends series, LenEll, Trisha and Chad talk about the line of humor vs sarcasm.  Humor is anything that makes people laugh.  It can be light-hearted or dark, slapstick or witty.  Humor includes jokes, puns, funny stories!  Sarcasm is more biting and intended to mock or convey contempt.  Its often used to criticize or insult.  An important part of making friends is knowing the difference.  Where is the line?  When does an emerging skill such as appropriate humor cross over into bullying?  When our kids are online, how do they know the difference and how can parents help our kids navigate true relationships from those that are potentially harmful?  How can parents help with an emerging sense of humor and how do our kids mirror their parents' personality?   When does a joke go too far and when it does how can we help our kids learn to pull it back?  When is kidding truly kidding or when is it not kidding?Send us a textfinding-moments.com or Etsy Shop

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.

We all know that making friends as an adult is difficult. Everyone's busy with their families and careers, while time online and remote work is leaving some people increasingly isolated. We meet some young adults finding creative new ways to meet potential new friends in the real world, from dinner with perfect strangers to making conversation at a run club.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay "whatchya gonna do 'fore they come for you?" before talking about a buddy cop movie that not only kickstarted a franchise, but changed the face of action movies, 'Bad Boys.' Bombay starts it off with a story of hitting up dicey clubs and after hours in Miami, and then making friends with a drug dealer at one of the city's most notorious shady spots. Then the fellas dive in on Michael Bay's slick, over-stylized actioner that helped shape the look, and framework of action flicks for years to come. Bolstered by two leads in Will Smith and Martin Lawrence who have immeasurable chemistry, charisma, and charm. It also featured an underrated sultry performance from Megan Fox's blue eyed, dark haired prototype, Tea Leoni. Ultimately, it leads to the guys championing for the resurgence of family-friendly R-rated movies that have naughty words and guns, but are ultimately a good time for the whole family.

In 2026, we're traveling to the Celtic nation of Galicia in Spain. We'll dive deep into the history and legends of the Galician Celts, uncovering their connections to Ireland, Scotland, and beyond. We'll walk the same lands where Celtic warriors once roamed, hear the myths passed down through generations, and experience the magic of authentic Galician Celtic music, alive with passion and history. This isn't just a trip—it's a journey into the heart of a Celtic culture unlike any other. Will you join us?

Mark Adamczyk emailed from Akron, Ohio: "Mark, Just wanted to reach out to you about the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast.  I found you on Sirius XM last year (March 2024) while recovering from back surgery (herniated a disc last February.  220 V down the left leg  -  that was a TON of fun!!)  Hearing you mention recovering from hip replacement surgery the other week made me feel a certain kinship with you around the podcast.  About 3 weeks after surgery, my wife and I received an invitation to travel to Ireland with our kid's high school band for them to play in the Dublin St Patrick's Day parade.  (Our kids have graduated but I still cover the sports as team physician!)  Having made enough of a recovery to do the walking needed, we made the trip and had an absolute BLAST touring Southern Ireland (Dublin, Kilkenny, Blarney, Killarney [my favorite!!], Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Mohr). When I got back to the States, I started looking around for ways to listen to Celtic music as we thoroughly enjoyed listening to it while on vacation.  I then found your podcast and have been listening somewhat regularly since.  (Summertime tends toward country music for me.  But when the weather gets colder, especially after the holidays, I find myself looking for you again!  I also catch up a bit sitting outside on a weekend morning on our back patio at other times when I get the chance!) We also got a new dog soon after coming home and named him Guinness in honor of the trip!  (We also thought he reminded us a bit of a pint of the brew with his white accents!  Check out his collar!)  When I take him on his daily walks, you are a regular on our playlist!  Me walking my Irish dog and listening to the I&CMP while recovering from back surgery  -  beautiful!!! Thanks for helping with my recovery!  Hope you are doing well with yours and look forward to continuing to listen more over time.  I attached a few pics for you too  -  some from Ireland in places which I'm sure you will recognize and one of Guinness and I on our latest walk today!! Slainte!!!”

Does it sometimes feel impossible to make real friends in adulthood? And what does that have to do with paring down our lives? As a military wife, I have to build a new community for our family every three years. And I've found that not only do friendships help us enjoy life, but they're a big reason it's easier to live a life with less. When we know we can rely on neighbors and friends to lend us things, come to our rescue when needed, and generally be a support system, then we are less tempted to use physical possessions as a form of security. In today's episode, I walk you through tactics I use to make new friends wherever we move, and dive into the power of different types of relationships using "bridging" and "bonding."
