    Building New Friendships From Scratch: Midlife Friendship with Ricki Radosh (Part 3 of 4)

    Episode 38: Building New Friendships From Scratch: Midlife Friendship with Ricki Radosh (Part 3 of 4) Sometimes the friendship task in front of you is not reconnecting with old people. It is building a circle from nothing in a place where you know no one. In Part 3 of our midlife friendship series, happiness coach Ricki Radosh walks through what it actually took to make new friends after she moved into a brand new community: showing up, choosing what she genuinely enjoyed, and staying open long enough for someone to walk over and say, “You look like the people I’m looking for.” In this episode, we talk about: Why everyone in a new community is starting over the same way, and how that makes people more open than you expect The relief of a setting where the menu of activities is handed to you, so all you have to do is choose one and show up The moment a stranger walked over to Ricki in an exercise class and a whole friend group formed from it Why doing what you actually enjoy, not what you think you should do, is what makes new friendships stick The difference between isolation and loneliness, and why connection now counts as a real health practice The one small step Ricki gives anyone who finds this hard: name one thing you enjoy, then go looking for it About Ricki Radosh: Ricki Radosh is a writer, speaker, and happiness coach, and the host of the Claim Your Happiness podcast. Her message is that you don’t have to change your circumstances to change your experience.

    Do You Really Have Friends? Midlife Friendship with Ricki Radosh (Part 1 of 4)

    Do You Really Have Friends? Midlife Friendship with Ricki Radosh (Part 1 of 4) Making Friends in Midlife mini-series This is part one of a four-part mini-series on making friends in midlife, all drawn from one conversation with writer and happiness coach Ricki Radosh. We start with the most basic question of all: do you really have the friends you think you do? Ricki shares how she spent decades certain she had no friends, and the moment a shelf of old scrapbooks proved her own story wrong. In this episode, we talk about: The “I have no friends” belief Ricki carried from age thirteen, and where it came from The scrapbook moment that showed her the gap between what she believed and what was actually true Why we measure real friendships against an imagined picture of what friendship “should” look like Ricki’s Name It, Frame It, Claim It method, and the one small action that changed everything Why reaching out first feels risky, and what the research says about how much people actually want to hear from us Two honest ways to change your friendship story, whether you have more friends than you thought or you simply want more About Ricki Radosh: Ricki Radosh is a writer, speaker, podcast host, and happiness coach who believes happiness is not something you find, it is something you choose, one moment at a time.

    The Bird on My Shoulder

    I just got home from family camp with all four of my granddaughters, something I had been dreaming about for years. The only reason it happened is a family crisis I would never have chosen. This episode is about the harder skill nobody trained me for after forty years as a nurse: not the skill of responding, but the skill of standing next to my adult children's lives with my hands at my sides, waiting to be asked. It is about grieving the version of this season I quietly planned for, and letting real disappointment and real gratitude sit at the same table. In this episode, I talk about: The skill no one trains you for in midlife: not responding, and letting your adult children's lives be their ownGrieving the idealized version, the one where everyone lives ten minutes away, so it stops running the show from underneathHow unprocessed longing leaks out as unsolicited advice, worry dressed as help, and a look that lands like a verdictThe little bird on my shoulder, and the real practice behind it: breathwork, self-care, and deliberate gratitudeWhen a caregiving season eats the bandwidth you needed for friendship, and why that is arithmetic, not failureMy granddaughters appointing themselves the guardians of my plate, and why they are watching, not listening Read more on the blog:The Bird on My Shoulder: The Hardest Skill of Parenting Adult ChildrenReal Disappointment and Real Gratitude at the Same Table Listen on:Podcast PageApple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon MusicYouTube Connect with Dvora / slant2plants:Sexy in Your 60s Coaching Experienceslant2plants.comInstagram @slant2plantsFacebookLinkedInPinterest

Why reinvention is really just curiosity, not vision you either have or don't How to build friendship on purpose after 50, including the "never leave without the next date on the calendar" rule What Elaine learned about showing up for an adult child in crisis, and why listening to the silence matters About Elaine Ebner: Elaine Ebner spent 35 years leading sales organizations in technology and technology media.

    Episode #32: The Friendships Worth Traveling For in Midlife

    The Friendships Worth Traveling For in Midlife Episode #32 with Dvora Citron Two years ago, Dvora took a solo trip to New York and discovered it was really a friendship trip in disguise. In this solo episode she talks about the half of midlife friendship we rarely discuss: how to keep the people you already love when life keeps pulling everyone in different directions. The answer is that when proximity goes away, intention has to take its place. In this episode, we talk about: Why friendship used to run on overlap, and what happens when that overlap quietly disappears in midlife The Oxford research showing our social networks peak around age 25 and slowly shrink after How to decide who is actually worth traveling for, with three honest questions to ask yourself Why traveling solo can deepen your connections instead of leaving you lonely Four practical ways to keep the people you love: audit your overlaps, replace overlap with rhythm, go one-on-one, and tell people they are worth the trip About Dvora: Dvora Citron is a Registered Nurse, National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner, and the founder of Slant2Plants®.
