EP35 - How To Make Genuine Friendships In Adulthood

Making genuine friendships has been an important part of my life in recent years, after having navigated friendship breakups, loneliness, and social anxiety. Through this, I have learnt to form healthier, more aligned relationships. But when I arrived in Bali in the middle of May, I was really homesick and isolated, feelings I hadn’t felt in a long time. Now however, I have come out the other side, through simple activities like joining a run club and opening myself up to new people, I am now feeling content and effortlessly connected. I am even trying to figure out how I can stay in Bali longer! In this week’s episode, I talk about the power of beliefs and tips on taking the initiative to cultivate meaningful social connections. I also talk about the importance of being joyful and content on your own, and how authenticity attracts the right people while repelling the wrong ones.  In this episode you will learn: Tips on how to make authentic friendships that feel aligned Why it’s important to befriend yourself first How to embrace authenticity and vulnerability to attract the right people What “dropping the handkerchief” means and how it can help you foster new friendships The impact of your beliefs on reality and social interactions How to be mindful and truly engaged with the people around you - What did you take away from this episode?
