How relationships progress to friendship

Ooooof, making friends as an adult can feel HARD. If you’re tired of surface friendships, you’re craving deeper connections, and/or you’re secretly judging yourself for not having found “your people” yet... you’re going to seriously love this one.

Let’s just say that this episode is essentially a masterclass on *how to* make aligned friendships as an adult and tangible tips to grow your community. Monica goes deep into the energetics of effort, sisterhood wounding, navigating new seasons like motherhood or moving cities, and how your nervous system literally decides whether friendship feels safe or not.

She’s also getting into:

🤍 How to tell if a friendship is aligned or just comfortable

🤍 The trap of over-identifying with the “I’m better because I’ve done the work” energy

🤍 What to do when you’re the one always making the effort

🤍 The invisible ways we block connection when we don’t feel safe to be ourselves

🤍 How to build soul-aligned friendships when you're in a new city or season

🤍 The sneaky ways sisterhood wounds show up (and how to start healing them)

🤍 Why you need to stop looking for people who are “just like you”

🤍 The importance of seasonal alignment in friendships

🤍 How to know when to let go of friendships that don’t feel good anymore

🤍 Somatic tips for starting richer & deeper conversations
