4 Ways to Make Friends as an Adult (And Actually Find Your People)

Making friends as an adult can feel surprisingly hard—especially after divorce, a move, a career change, or any major life transition. In this solo episode of The Tamsen Show, Tamsen shares her personal experience with adult friendship, loneliness, starting over, and how she rebuilt a smaller but much deeper circle of female friendships.

In this episode, Tamsen shares 4 practical ways to:

• Recognize which friendships are feeding you and which are draining you
• Become the kind of friend you want to have
• Make new friends as an adult, even when it feels awkward
• Build and maintain meaningful friendships when life gets busy

Plus, Tamsen shares what the decades-long Harvard Study of Adult Development reveals about the connection between friendship, happiness, health, and longevity, and why finding your people may be one of the most important things you do for yourself.

Whether you’re starting over, feeling lonely, or simply realizing your friendships have changed, this episode will help you build the community you want in your next chapter.
