The time has come for our mid-season break! But before heading off into summer, Daysha wanted to offer up some coaching this week on how to make time for friendship since it is one of the biggest challenges for people when trying to make friends in adulthood.

We’re always saying we’re too busy to hang out. But are we really, tho? Or are there other underlying emotions blocking us from finding the time to connect? In this episode Daysha discusses:

• What are time boundaries and how to set them

• How to identify your time boundary violation triggers

• Inspiration for how to make more time for connection

• And why spontaneity is the secret sauce when it comes to connecting with friends

So, if you have always wondered:

• How do I make time for friends as an adult?

• Why is it so hard to maintain friendships when you're busy?

• How can I balance work, life, and friendships?

• Can you have meaningful friendships without seeing each other often?

Then I hope you are sat and ready because Real Talk Friend Therapy with Daysha Veronica is in session!
