in this solo episode, i share some honest thoughts on my struggles recently to make meaningful friendships and I unpack the psychology behind our craving for a built-in social circle, why adulthood makes friendships feel so much harder, and what we can actually do to cultivate real connection!

I also give you a little life update (spoiler: the parents meeting each other wasn’t the disaster my overthinking brain imagined) and share my thoughts on Binding 13 and Keeping 13!
