Want more connection in your life? Someone has to make the first move.

Invite an acquaintance to do something one-on-one. Join something that meets regularly. Host something small. You don’t have to wait for someone else to include you.

Sometimes building adult friendships starts with deciding to be the person who initiates.

From our new Shrinks on Tap episode, The Awkward Truth About Making Friends as an Adult.

Today is World Mental Health Day. 💚

A reminder that every mental health story is different — and every lived experience deserves to be heard.

Sometimes being heard is where change begins.

What’s one thing you wish more people understood about mental health?

Making friends as an adult sometimes means stopping waiting for the invitation — and making one.

Coffee. A walk. Dinner. A text that says, “Want to hang out?”

Sometimes setting the table is how you find your people. 💙

What’s harder for you: making the first move or putting yourself out there again?

Knowing what you do is one thing. Understanding WHY you do it can change what happens next.

Why do you replay the conversation for hours?
Why did that tiny thing make you snap?
Why is saying no so damn hard?

That’s where Shrinks on Tap comes in.

Lauren + Eleni take the stuff you’re actually living and help unpack the psychology underneath it — so you can understand yourself a little better and have a better idea of what to do next.

🎙️ Follow + subscribe and come figure out the “why” with us.

What’s something you do all the time but still don’t completely understand WHY you do it?

Making friends as an adult can feel A LOT like dating.

Lauren found a walking group on Facebook and essentially started going on “blind dates” for friendship. The first one? Not a match. But she tried again—and the next person became a real friend.

Sometimes finding your people means being willing to meet the wrong person first.

Why does making friends as an adult feel so much harder than it used to? 😩

Friendships used to happen almost automatically. As adults, connection takes a whole lot more intention — and sometimes a little courage.

If this feels familiar, you’re definitely not alone.
