Adult friendships are hard — not because you’re bad at them, but because life pulls you in a thousand directions. Work, family, responsibilities… and somewhere along the way, connection gets shallow. In this episode, I share how to stop waiting to be chosen, how to build rhythm into your relationships, and how to move past small talk into something meaningful. If you want deeper friendships, you have to go first. Order The Next Conversation Workbook: https://www.jeffersonfisher.com/workbook Thank you to our sponsors: Cozy Earth. Upgrade Your Every Day.
