The secret to making mom friends

We were never meant to parent alone. But for lots of people, parenting young children is a really lonely time. We want to change that! In this episode, we talk about how to make friends in a meaningful way that goes beyond just sharing your baby’s milestones and saying that everything is "fine".  Takeaways: Treat making parent friends like speed dating. It’s OK if you don’t hit it off with everyone.  For us, focusing on a couple of really close friends has been far better than getting to know a large group at a superficial level. If you’re looking for friendship, going for a walk or a hike can be a great way to get to know someone Just because someone also has a baby, doesn’t mean you have to be friends. Find people whose lifestyle and parenting style resonates with you.  The best way to feel included is to include someone else. Be brave and reach out!
