5 LIES WE TELL OURSELVES ABOUT FRIENDSHIP AFTER 40

Friendship after 40 looks different, but different does not mean worse. Can you still make genuine friends after 40? Absolutely. But adult friendships require intention, communication, boundaries and sometimes the courage to admit that you've outgrown someone. At 41, I've made genuine friendships at different stages of my life, including in my 40s. In this video, I'm talking about making friends as an adult, maintaining female friendships, friendship breakups, setting boundaries, outgrowing friendships, and why your oldest friend doesn't automatically have to be your closest friend. I'm also sharing some of the unexpected ways I've made friends, including meeting someone at a networking event simply because I asked, "What you ordering?" and meeting another friend because I saw her roller-skating. We’re talking about: • Why it can feel harder to make friends after 40 • How to meet new friends as an adult • Why adult friendships require actual effort • Having difficult conversations with friends • Friendship boundaries and protecting your time • Knowing when you've outgrown a friendship • The friendship “demotion” nobody talks about • Being the kind of friend you're looking for • Why it's never too late to build meaningful friendships If you've ever wondered how to make friends in your 40s, felt lonely as an adult, experienced a friendship breakup, or realized that some of your relationships no longer fit who you've become, this conversation is for you.
