Podcasts about Making Friends

“There is hope in the certainty that things do change,” writes Buddhist teacher Sharon Salzberg. But there is also real anxiety in the certainty that things do change. Change is the force that pushes us forward, without asking whether we want to move. Can the way we think about and navigate life's transitions improve our experience of them? In Episode 223, Susan and Cynthia are back for Season 10 with a conversation about the relentless nature of change, and what it might mean to lean into hope.

Ever feel like you’re the only one struggling to keep a friendship afloat? Danielle Bayard Jackson is a friendship coach, author, and educator who has made it her mission to decode the silent, often messy world of female friendships. In this eye-opening episode, she sits down with Sarah Grynberg to share the science and stories behind what makes our connections thrive and what quietly pulls them apart. From ghosting and jealousy to the shame of outgrowing old friends, Danielle breaks down the unspoken rules that govern who we let in, who we hold close, and who we quietly let go. You’ll learn: *Why some friendships end and how to know when it’s time to let them. *The three ingredients every strong female friendship needs. *How to make new friends as an adult (without the awkwardness). *Why holding on “just for the history” could be hurting you more than helping. This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder: friendship is not about obligation. It’s about energy, reciprocity, and choosing people who see you as you are and love you because of it.

On this special summer episode, we dive into the real and raw emotions of college life as students share their anxieties about coming to campus. From the pressures to succeed, to the fears of not fitting in, hear honest, funny, and totally relatable tales about how students pushed through their fear to grow into the version of themselves they are today.

Are you becoming the version of you that your manifestations have been waiting for? When our manifestations start to show up, it's not always about having more- it's often about being more of who we really are. We reflect on the difference between visualizing an idealized version of ourselves versus actually embodying our most authentic self. This episode explores how alignment speeds up manifestation, why integration can feel overwhelming, and how imposter syndrome can sneak in even when everything seems to be going “right.” Recorded in Milan, we also share a life update, a peek inside men's fashion events, and how real connection is created when we bring our whole self to the table: mind, body, and soul. Key Takeaways: ✨ The difference between visualizing an ideal self vs. living from your authentic self ✨ Why alignment accelerates manifestation ✨ How to navigate the integration period after big desires come to life ✨ Feeling imposter syndrome when your reality changes fast ✨ Updates from Milan and creating connection in new environments ✨ How spiritual maturity supports manifestation and long-term alignment This episode is for you if you've been calling things in, feeling them start to land, and want to deepen the connection with yourself while you live out the vision.   Energy Healers, Facilitators, & Resources mentioned in this and/or past episodes:

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.

Unfortunately, they don't have the background to effectively take on this responsibility.A perpetuating trend exists where cybersecurity leaders are expected to protect factories and industrial assets without the authority, tools, or support to do so effectively.In this conversation, Dino and Craig explain why traditional IT security approaches don't work in these environments, and how things like outdated equipment, disconnected systems, and outside vendors make the challenge even harder. 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.

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.

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

#126 Homeschooling? You're already doing it!

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. Stop at the store, grab some Skittles, and pop on the episode.

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!!!”
