Why is it so hard to make close friends as an adult? Why do deep connections feel rare, and even a little scary?

In this episode, I’m opening up about something that’s hard to admit I don’t have a best friend right now, and I wish I did.

We’ll talk about:

Why female friendships can feel complicated in adulthood
How past trauma, grief, or ghosting can create fear of connection
The impact of losing a best friend and how shame can create walls
How to begin trusting people again—without abandoning yourself

If you’ve ever felt alone, left out, or like no one really gets you… this one’s for you.

You’re not broken—you’re just someone who craves real connection, not surface-level friendship. And there is nothing wrong with that.

✨ Includes a journal prompt and affirmation at the end to help you explore your own story with compassion.
