Why Making New Friends Feels Exhausting As An Adult (And How to Make It Easier)

Why Making New Friends Feels Exhausting As An Adult (And How to Make It Easier)

Do you find it hard to make new friends lately?

Have your friendships changed as you've gotten older?

Why does making new friends as an adult feel like running a marathon with no finish line? Today, Jay takes us on a thoughtful journey into the world of adult friendships — where connections aren’t forged on playgrounds or dorm rooms anymore, but instead in between meetings, family commitments, and the weight of life’s expectations.

Jay peels back the layers of why forming new bonds can feel so exhausting as we grow older. He reveals how our changing priorities, unhealed wounds, and limited energy all shape how — and with whom — we connect. With warmth and wisdom, he invites us to explore what true friendship really looks like in adulthood, and why it’s less about quantity and more about alignment, presence, and purpose.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Let Go of Friendships That No Longer Serve You

How to Stop Forcing Deep Bonds Too Quickly

How to Approach Friendship with Curiosity Instead of Expectation

How to Stay Open to New Relationships at Any Age

How to Cultivate Meaningful Conversations that Matter

Friendships don’t have to be instant to be real. Trust that the right connections will meet you when you show up as your authentic self.

With Love and Gratitude,

There are so many voices in our head and sometimes it’s hard to tell if you’re displaying ego or self-esteem. You have to notice and switch your dialogue to strengthen the voice you want.

6 Reasons Why It’s Never Too Late To Quit and Start Over

6 Reasons Why It’s Never Too Late To Quit and Start Over

“I wish I started earlier” Have you ever told yourself that? Or how about “It’s too late” or “it’s not going to happen for me anymore”. My follow up is: Too late for what? Too late for who? Who made up these rules? We are all made to feel that we need to have our lives figured out by 21, but to put that false expectation on yourself is absurd. Our current education system is teaching us subjects not problem solving, emotional management or self awareness. Without experience under our belts, we rush into making bad decisions. Realize there are benefits in starting later, and many people have like Samuel Jackon and Stan Lee! Today you’ll get a brand new perspective and start becoming the person you should’ve been.
