When you were a little girl, making friends was easy. You could just walk up to anyone in the sandbox and say, ‘Hey, do you want to be my friend?’
But as an adult, it feels a lot harder.
You’ve likely encountered some mean girls who discouraged your dreams or made you feel like you had to be somebody else to belong. And you may feel insecure about reaching out to make a new friend.
So, how do you find uplifting, supportive friendships as an adult?
On this episode of The Live Out Loud Show, Brooke shares four simple ways to put yourself out there and make new friends, describing how to find like-minded people and potential besties in your existing network.
She challenges us to push fear aside and initiate a conversation with a friend-to-be and explains how saying YES to new things helps us meet people outside our usual zone.
Listen in for insight on forming lifelong friendships through Live Out Loud and learn how to attract good friends by being fully YOU!
