Making friends as an adult feels…complicated. Gone are the days of “wanna play?” on the playground. Now it looks more like drafting Facebook DMs with ChatGPT, holding on to old friendships across different life stages, or craving the kind of casual community your grandma had — where people just dropped by for coffee and donuts before church.
In this episode, Nola gets candid about what friendship looks like when you’re a team of one at work, when being seen as “leadership” adds a wall you didn’t ask for, and when life’s logistics mean even your closest friends are knee deep in glitter at the dance studio and on soccer fields instead of at your kitchen table.
From daycare mom outreach to a 521-day Snapchat streak, from IF:Table to potty-training playdates, this episode is about the awkward, humbling, and absolutely necessary work of building adult friendships.
Stay tuned to the end — because this conversation sets the stage for what’s next on Unmuted: deeper connections, maybe even a few new voices joining the mic.
