In this eye-opening episode of The ARTwork of YOU, host Lori Gouhin explores one of the most overlooked areas of adult life; friendship.

Why do so many adults feel lonely, disconnected, or unsure how to build deep, lasting friendships? Lori opens up about her own journey from surface-level connections to creating the strongest, most genuine circle of friends she’s ever had and the intentional choices that made it possible.

She dives into:

Why adult friendships often feel confusing, awkward, or emotionally distant even when you’re surrounded by people.
The difference between being friendly and being deeply connected.
How consistency, humor, vulnerability, and alignment form the foundation of true friendship.
Why letting go of misaligned relationships is an act of honesty, not guilt.
How your self-worth and identity directly influence the quality of friendships you attract.

Lori shares stories of laughter, support, fantasy football mishaps, and neighborhood fun all underscoring one simple truth: you don’t find deep friendships; you grow into them.

This episode will help you re-examine how you show up in your relationships and inspire you to build friendships that are fun, freeing, and fully aligned with who you are becoming.
