How to Actually Make Friends as an Adult (We're Figuring It Out Too)

Making friends as a kid was easy. You just showed up and someone was your best friend by recess. But as adults? Hidden agendas, busy schedules, new cities, and the emotional energy it takes to actually follow through make it feel almost impossible and Lexsi and Amber are getting into all of it.

From Amber navigating friendships after moving to Chicago, to why having kids reshuffles your entire social circle, to the difference between someone you hang out with and someone you actually call, this episode is one of those conversations that makes you feel seen. They also play a Friendship Red Flag / Green Flag game that gets surprisingly honest (one of them fully admits she's a walking red flag and doesn't even feel bad about it). By the end, they're making a real commitment to be more intentional about building their people and lowkey inviting you to apply.
