How to Make (and Maintain) Friendships

ALLISON WETIG AND CEARA KIRKPATRICK
About this episode

Being the Already Friends podcast, it’s only fitting to have an episode dedicated entirely to making friends and maintaining your friendships. Making friends as an adult can feel challenging, and it may seem like everyone else already has their “bestie” or their friend group. In this episode, we dive deep into how to make friends, why it can feel challenging or frustrating to make new friends, how to maintain your friendships, what activities you can do with your friends, and more.
