96. Tips for Making + Sustaining Friendships as an Adult (ft. BFF Cassie Collins)

Fact: the older you get, the harder it becomes to make + sustain quality friendships. As an adult, you’re less likely to find yourself in social situations which naturally invite opportunities to cultivate new relationships. In this episode, I bring (personal bff!) Cassie Collins on to discuss how we not only connected as adults but became best friends through shared experiences, goals, persistently, + intention. Cassie + I met through our now husbands when we were only 26; four years later + we’ve cheered on each others careers, milestones, grown even closer as long distance friends, + recently were in each others weddings. As career-oriented women with a heart for putting others first, we instantly connected based on similar values + experiences the same seasons of life together. We dive into why it’s important to be intentional about the friendships you pour into, why you should say “yes” to almost any invite as an adult, + why understanding your friends’ “love languages” allows you to grow + develop as friends. Friendships are truly about quality, not quantity, + we share why we think it’s important to keep your circle of friends small. Tune in to hear how you can work to not just make, but sustain, friendships no matter what season of life you find yourself in. __________________________________ Follow https://www.instagram.com/missunderstood.podcast/ + https://www.instagram.com/kellie.sbrocchi/ on Instagram for episode updates + more.
