About this episode
If your friendships have started to feel more distant, more confusing, or more draining than they used to, you're not imagining it.
Tamsen sits down with leading therapist and author Minaa B. to talk about the emotional side of adult friendships: the breakups, the boundaries, the loneliness, and why building connections can feel so hard, especially in midlife. Drawing from her clinical work, Minaa shares a powerful framework for understanding the different roles people play in our lives and how to build the kind of support system we actually need.
What you’ll get:
- Why friendship starts to feel more complicated in your 30s, 40s, and beyond- The 4 types of support we all need and how to find them- What to do if you feel like you have no real friends right now- How to stop shrinking yourself to stay connected- The difference between healthy boundaries and shutting people out- A new way to think about connection that doesn’t feel like a chore
Friendship isn't just nice to have. It’s essential and it’s okay to want more from it.
