Female friendships change SO much as we get older. In this episode of The Stella Rae Podcast, we're talking about making friends as an adult, losing friends, outgrowing friendships, loneliness, and what happens when you're on your own glow-up or self-improvement journey.I'm sharing some personal experiences with friendships that changed as I grew, including dealing with weird energy, feeling left out, recognizing jealousy, setting boundaries, and learning that not everyone needs to be your best friend. We also talk about codependent friendships, maintaining your independence within relationships, trusting your intuition, and rebuilding your ability to trust people after you've been hurt.Then we get into the bigger picture of getting older and realizing that your friendships naturally change as you move through different life stages, especially when people start dating, getting married, having kids, moving, or simply choosing different paths.I'm also talking about how to make friends as an adult, why quality matters more than quantity, saying yes to more things, making small talk, building community, and why sometimes the most random interactions can turn into meaningful friendships.And of course, we have to talk about the Kylie Jenner + Jordyn Woods friendship breakup and what seeing their old friendship again made me think about female friendships, betrayal, growing apart, and how much our relationships can change over time 😂If you're in your 20s, going through a glow-up, making new friends, losing old friends, feeling lonely, or trying to build a better social life, I think you'll relate to this one.Welcome to the fall glow-up / pre-winter arc. 🍂 We're getting our lives together, building better relationships, and becoming our best selves.Subscribe for weekly episodes about wellness, fitness, lifestyle, relationships, confidence, personal growth & navigating your 20s.Get 10% off PROZIS with code STELLARAE10 http://prozis.com/1LMJGFollow the pod IG! http://instagram.com/stellaraepodcastlisten on spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2DMbeh7EqiqgROIjvW0sI9listen on apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-stella-rae-podcast/id125561818200:00 Female friendships & why they change as you get older01:23 The Kylie Jenner & Jordyn Woods friendship breakup03:00 Why old friendships can suddenly feel so different04:00 When your glow-up changes your friendships05:16 The moment I realized the friendship felt different06:45 What I've learned about healthy friendships07:44 Codependent friendships & maintaining your independence09:48 Not everyone needs to be your best friend11:29 Getting older, relationships & everyone entering different life stages14:11 How I romanticize different eras of my life15:11 Learning to make the most of your current season16:19 Why making friends as an adult is so hard18:00 How to actually make friends as an adult20:40 Saying yes, making small talk & putting yourself out there20:53 Quality over quantity in friendships21:00 Building community where you already live22:00 Why you don't need to force friendships23:00 Letting friendships evolve naturally24:00 Being single while your friends couple up26:00 The pressure to get married as you get older28:00 Why everyone's life timeline looks different30:00 Your friendships will change — and that's okay#StellaRaePodcast
