Why making friendships as an adult feels so hard

Making friends as an adult can feel surprisingly difficult.

We no longer have school, university or everyday routines naturally bringing people into our lives. Instead, friendship often requires putting ourselves out there, being open and taking that first step.

The right friendships can completely change how we experience life.

Having women around you who support you, celebrate you and understand you creates a sense of belonging that is so important for our wellbeing.

Community gives us somewhere to share our wins, navigate challenges and feel supported through every season of life.

Many women are searching for deeper connections too — they just don't always know where to find them.

Sometimes it starts with one event, one conversation or one decision to step outside your comfort zone.

You never know when one small yes could lead you to the friendships you've been looking for.
