You’re looking through your calendar to figure out a date to spend time with an old friend and as you search for some availability, you realise two things – one, that we’re only a few weeks out from a new year, and two, that you’re putting in a lot of effort to maintain a friendship that you’re convinced you’ve outgrown. But, she’s all you know. As we head into the new year, how can you be more intentional about connecting with new people who are a bit more like-minded, and more compatible with the woman you are today?

In this episode of the Friend Forward podcast, our resident friendship expert, Danielle Bayard Jackson, gives her advice on four strategies you can use to find like-minded friends who feel a better fit for where you are at this point in your life, and the fourth one is one you might not expect.

And as always, stay tuned to the end for this week’s homework.
