My Guide to Making Friends as an Adult

👋 hiii, hello!

If making friends feels harder than it used to, I want you to know: it’s not you. It IS harder. You’re not doing anything wrong. The conditions just being so easy.

So I made you a map. 🤍

I’ve hosted 200+ events for strangers to have deep talks. I've had a front row seat to show people show up - what makes a conversation click, the art of asking questions, and the small moments that turn strangers into friends. My posts online have reached 60M+ views. This is everything I’ve learned from bringing thousands of strangers together, in the order I wish someone had handed it to me.

🤍 This is for you if…

• You’re new in town and starting from scratch

• Your friends have drifted, moved, or settled into a new season & your calendar feels quiet

• You’re social, but in your head about it frequently

• You want to get closer with more people

• You wish someone could hold your hand more through the process!

• You want tactical tips to change your social life

🌱 Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Where to find YOUR people (plus the exact apps and places to look)

• How to walk into a room alone and actually enjoy it

• How to have conversations that go past small talk

• How to turn a great conversation into a real plan

• How to build rituals so friendships grow on their own

• The confidence to actually go, not just save this for “someday”

Here’s What’s Inside:

📍 Chapter 1: Find Your Places

• The friendship funnel (the framework from my 1M-view post)

• Why friendship is built in hours, not moments

• The #1 thing that makes friendships form on their own

• The places and apps I’d actually use to find them

👋 Chapter 2: Say Hi

• How to ease into any event (even alone)

💌 Chapter 3: Follow Up

🌍 Chapter 5: Meet People in the Wild

PLUS: a 5-minute reflection after every section that gets you to a real next step, and a page “for the hard days.”

By the end, you’ll know how to find your people and keep them close, wherever you go.
